History[]

Khrist Raja High School (K.R.), Bettiah, was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1927 and in 1930 moved to its present campus. Khrist Raja High School has been considered the "premier school of north Bihar", with students attending from all over the state and staying at its residential facilities.^[1]

The Khrist Raja High School has served the Bettiah Christians, the northern Indian subcontinent's oldest Christian community, with statistics showing that 83.6% of Christian pupils from 1927 to 1928 were from the Bettiah Christian community (including the Bettiah Christian diaspora).^[1]

It went coeducational in 1998. In 2007, 136 out of 148 students passed the exit exam in the First Division, for which it received a "best school certificate." In 2008 there were 2,146 students, including 468 girls.^{[citation needed]}
