Norwalk School District

The Norwalk School District in Connecticut consists of 21 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving a diverse student population. The district as a whole is ranked 127 out of 158 in Connecticut and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Some standout schools in the district include Center for Global Studies, a public magnet high school ranked 26 out of 145 Connecticut high schools with strong academic performance, and Rowayton School, an elementary school ranked 177 out of 497 Connecticut elementary schools with particularly strong performance in English Language Arts. Additionally, Concord Magnet School, a K-8 public magnet school, stands out with high proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the district also faces significant performance gaps, with some schools, such as Brien McMahon High School and Norwalk High School, having lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. This disparity may be linked to socioeconomic factors, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges widely across the schools. Addressing these inequities and ensuring more equitable access to quality education will be crucial for the district's continued improvement.
