7 Connecticut Schools Make the Grade on 2017’s ‘Best of’ List

We're still smack dab in the middle of the school year, but it appears that we've got some over achievers in the form of some Connecticut school districts.

Niche.com, a website that analyzes and ranks U.S. school systems, just came out with their 2017 list of the nation’s top school districts. Again, we here in Connecticut, made the grade.

Niche studies all kinds of metrics like test scores, college data, student life, teacher quality, neighborhood surveys, and more. They create profiles for every K-12 school, college, university and neighborhood in America. Seven Connecticut school districts made the list, and two made the top 15.

Westport landed as Connecticut’s best school district in 2017 as number 12 on the list, and New Canaan fared well at 15.

Number 12 - Westport
