This is not the first time Medha has proven its academic prowess in the SEE.

In the SEE 2078 BS, out of 107 students, 20 examinees got through the Iron Gate with A+, 52 A, 20 B+, 10 B and 5 with C score from this school.
In the academic years 2077 BS and 2076 BS, the NEB had announced the SEE results based on internal evaluations of respective schools due to COVID-19.
Medha School is the leading example that has disseminated a positive message throughout the country that community schools also can impart a high level of quality education.
This community school took a new lease of life after the late Principal Gangadhar Hada took charge as the vice principal on February 17, 2004. Due to his constant dedication to the school, this school managed to top the charts of community schools in the SEE results in 2075 BS, eight years after he took charge as the head of the school.
Recognizing his commendable contribution to the school, the government conferred Prabal Janasewa Shree Award, Shiksha Puraskar on Gangadhar as being the principal of Medha School. He had played an instrumental role in transforming an ordinary community school into the best school of the nation leaving behind all the private schools. This School had received a cash prize of Rs 300,000 along with a medal and a letter of appreciation for becoming the top government school in 2075 BS.
