Norwalk Public Schools 

Norwalk Public Schools is the most successful city school district in Connecticut. Norwalk students as a whole exceed state average achievement, while high needs students have the smallest achievement gap. Students’ needs and interests are met through a wide range of school and program choices that promote diversity and broaden achievement. All students are taught by exemplary educators in nurturing, safe and attractive schools. Students learn to read at the elementary school level and leave 8th grade equipped to do rigorous high school work. Our students graduate from high school and become career-ready and are prepared for college.
