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.

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 40acres (+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.
The school is co-ed (since 1986). The boarding facilities are offered for boys only.
There is a 25-bed dispensary, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer laboratories alongside a Mathematics lab.
Each class has five sections A, B, C, D,E and F(Only till 5 class)
The school in a 40acres closed campus has playgrounds for cricket, hockey, basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, kabaddi, tennis, tennikoit and table tennis. There is a children’s park near the primary wing and parallel bars adjacent to the boarding house.
