Summary:

The Norwalk School District in Connecticut is home to four high schools: Brien McMahon High School, Norwalk High School, P-Technical Norwalk, and Center for Global Studies. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.

Among the high schools in the district, the Center for Global Studies stands out as the top performer. It is consistently ranked among the best high schools in Connecticut, with strong test scores, a low student-teacher ratio, and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. P-Technical Norwalk also demonstrates impressive performance, particularly in its test scores and low student-teacher ratio.

In contrast, Brien McMahon High School and Norwalk High School appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district, with lower test scores and higher student-teacher ratios. The district-wide challenge of chronic absenteeism, which affects all four high schools, may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address this issue.
