Situated on the link road of village Chupki, just 500 metres from the Chandigarh–Hissar State Highway via Patiala, D.A.V. Public Senior Secondary School Kakrala began its journey in 1994 with a strength of 300 students. Three decades later, the school draws approximately 1,450 students from around 65 villages and the towns of Ghagga, Patran, and Samana - a reach that makes it one of the most relied-upon CBSE schools in Patiala district for families in this belt of rural Punjab. The school is managed by the D.A.V. College Managing Committee, New Delhi, which governs over 720 institutions across India and has been active in education for more than 125 years.

Affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, the school runs classes from Nursery through Class 12 in a co-educational, English-medium format. On the sports front, the school carried home the title of Overall Champions at the DAV National Sports Meet 2025, with students winning in Wrestling Under-14 and finishing as runners-up in the Under-19 category - a result prominently featured on the school's website. The school participates regularly in science exhibitions, painting competitions, and co-curricular events, with a structured House Council and School Cabinet in place for each academic session.

The campus spreads across 3 acres with a double-storey building housing dedicated Physics and Chemistry labs, a Computer lab, smart classrooms, a library, an art room, and a playground for multiple sports.
