The Hyderabad Public School is located in Ramanthapur, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

The school was established in 1972. It is a branch of Hyderabad Public School located at Begumpet. It has over 2300 students in grades PP1 through 12; teaching is in English. The teacher student ratio is 1:23. The school is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, and is a member of Indian Public Schools’ Conference. Admission into the school is through a recently introduced system of drawing lots. The school is an ethical, non-profitable, co-educational institution.

In 1972, The Hyderabad Public School Society realized the need for another public school. By resolution of the Board of Governors, the society decided to start a new unit. The Late Sri T.B.V. Subhramanyam was entrusted with the project and was appointed the founder principal. Thus a new unit of the Hyderabad Public School came into existence in a rented building at Panjagutta. Later, the Osmania University leased out 40 acres (16 ha) (+20 acres for conservation purpose) of land in at Ramanthapur and the school was shifted to its present site.

The school has nine main buildings: the administrative block accommodates the accounts office and the clerical staff, a two storied main academic block, the Principal’s academic office, the Vice-Principal’s office, the staff room, the assembly hall, laboratories, workshop areas, activity rooms and class rooms.
