This study investigates the effectiveness of school-based interventions in improving academic outcomes among low-income students in Delhi’s government and municipal schools. Recognizing the stark educational disparities driven by socio-economic challenges, the research assesses how six key interventions remedial tutoring, after-school academic programs, mid-day meal quality upgrades, school health camps, parental engagement workshops, and teacher professional development impact students’ academic achievement. Employing a quasi-experimental, explanatory mixed-methods design, the study combines quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. Data were collected from 200 students across 20 schools using a stratified random sampling technique, ensuring district-wide representation. The analysis applied descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and ANOVA to evaluate relationships between interventions and student-reported academic performance. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed to contextualize findings and understand implementation barriers. Results highlight the significance of multi-dimensional support in enhancing student outcomes, especially when academic assistance is paired with emotional, nutritional, and familial support. Despite certain limitations, such as reliance on self-reported data and regional focus, the findings offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to scale effective school-based strategies to bridge the urban education divide in India.
