Summary

P-Technical Norwalk is a public high school serving 380 students in grades 9-12 in Norwalk, Connecticut. The school is part of the Norwalk School District, which is ranked 118 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

P-Technical Norwalk consistently ranks in the top half of Connecticut high schools, with strong performance on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts. The school also stands out for its performance among certain student subgroups, including Hispanic students and students with special needs, where it ranks among the top schools in the state. Additionally, P-Technical Norwalk has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby high schools.

However, the school faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with around 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While P-Technical Norwalk outperforms some other high schools in the Norwalk School District, it lags behind the higher-performing Center for Global Studies magnet school. When compared to top-ranked schools outside the district, such as Wilton High School, Fairfield Ludlowe High School, and schools in Darien and New Canaan, P-Technical Norwalk's performance is significantly lower.
