Parent: As a multi generational boarding school family, we were seeking a smaller, kinder alternative to the pressure cooker environment of the super elite schools. Canterbury exceeded our expectations in every critical category - a healthy, inclusive campus culture, outstanding academic support, and superb leadership. The faculty holds weekly meetings to discuss EVERY student. The Head visits the dorm room of EVERY student during the academic year and gets to know each student. Parental requests and concerns are addressed immediately. Our student came out of there joyful, assured, with excellent college options, enduring friendships and a deep sense of gratitude....

Senior: I've been a student at Wooster for 7 years and I loved my entire time there. I've seen it go through many changes, but the root of its values still stay strong. The community holds tons of relationships that will last a lifetime. The unique structure of each curriculum truly benefits all of the students with its adaptability for each persons' learning styles. Everyone is different, so they can't all be expected to learn in the same way, and that's exactly what Wooster thrives at. Something I would like to see improve at Wooster is more foreign language options for inside the classroom.... Read 83 reviews

Parent: Harvey is a special school with a strong sense of community providing an environment that encourages learning, creatively and risk taking academically as well as in sports, the arts and many other areas. Harvey's college prep curriculum encourages critical and creative thinking while ensuring that students maintain self-respect and self-reliance. A diverse student body with a wide variety of academic abilities and backgrounds, Harvey offers grade level, honors advanced placement courses, while focusing on each student to ensure that they are being challenged and supported. Small class sizes, collaborative learning environment and access to teachers make Harvey a wonderful, engaging learning environment. Students are encouraged to try new things, push themselves beyond their own expectations – academically as well as on the sports fields, in the art center, robotics lab or in Model UN. Harvey is where students want to learn, explore, and excel! Harvey provides "Rigor with Heart!"... Read 61 reviews

Parent: I am the parent of two recent graduates. I firmly believe there is no better high school in Connecticut. You hear family mentioned often, that it's a strong close knit community. On one of the first days of school a coach came over to my car and said, "We really care about the kids here. You'll see." This was the understatement of the year - the caring never stopped - and continues. Nothing could be truer than "Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang." I think most graduates feel this way. My kids received college scholarships (many do. My son has graduated and is working in a competitive field credits Immaculate with giving him the tools for success. What I've noticed from other area parents of public high school kids is the public schools have a focus on certain agendas. Immaculate teaches the kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Big difference. Respect, humility, and kindness: all instilled in the kids. No regrets - athletically, academically, socially: a great, great place!... Read 177 reviews

Parent: I live in a blue ribbon public school district, but decided to send my children to Kennedy for the specialized attention and holistic approach they take towards not only education, but personal growth of the student as well. My daughter and son could not be more different in interests and personalities. My daughter is outgoing, skilled in science and math and enjoys playing sports, while my son tends to be more quiet and reserved, excelling in arts and humanities. We had the pleasure of watching them build on their interests and blossom during their time at Kennedy in very different ways. Even though their paths were quite different, they both made excellent friends, strengthened healthy core values, and went on to be accepted at some of the most prestigious universities on the East coast thanks to the rigorous academics they became accustomed to at Kennedy. As parents, we could not be happier with the choice we made in sending our children to this excellent school. 5 Stars!... Read 172 reviews

Sophomore: I overall enjoy Western Connecticut State University. One of my biggest reasons why it was one of my top schools were because not too many schools have my major which is Cyber Security. Western is giving me the confidence and resources I need to fulfill my career. I would honestly recommend this school to a friend.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: I went to Faith Prep several years ago. As I reflect on my experience there, I must say the school has undoubtedly prepared me for college, graduate school, and the "real-world." The curriculum is taught from a Christian perspective, which is significantly better than the general education taught at public schools. To this day, I still talk to my classmates, and each of us still recall the fun times we had there. If you're looking for a great place to send your son or daughter, I highly recommend Faith Prep. Class of 2011! Go Bulldogs!... Read 31 reviews

Senior: Danbury High School has a wonderful staff composed of helpful, thoughtful teachers who are capable of producing successful students. Out of the many teachers I had at Danbury High School, I only thought that one of them could improve their teaching skills. Aside from this one teacher, I was always pleased with the manner in which my classes were run and their level of rigor. In my honors and AP classes, I felt challenged but not overwhelmed. Additionally, the inclusion of Flex, which is similar to a homeroom, into our schedules majorly contributed to my academic success because it gave me the ability to visit my teachers whenever I needed help. I often used it to get feedback on my work, ask questions about ongoing assignments, and work on homework. In spite of all the good things offered at Danbury High School, I believe that the school would be better off if it received more funding for classroom supplies, applications, food, repairs, and things of a similar nature....

Alum: I can't say enough great things about this High School, not only was it newly renovated when I attended back in 2010 but it is full of staff who is genuinely wants to see you succeed. You do half academics and half technical shop. Contrary to popular belief this high school WILL prepare you for college if you decide to go after you finish your trade. The non-shop professors are highly qualified to teach all of the subjects. You can choose to engage in a club where you will make friends outside of your classes. I was also part of the cross country team. The coaches are very supportive and will push you to be the best version of yourself! If I could change one thing about this school would just be the food. I am sure it probably has greatly gotten better since I left.... Read 80 reviews

Alum: It was a very fun school to go too, the teachers were very fun to be with and will teach with enthusisaum. The food was the best and every month there was a prize written under your tray and if you got it you would get a prize. The teachers did everything they can to give you the best possible education, some of them even had years of experience.... Read 1 review

Parent: Park Avenue has top notch administrators who set high standards for their teachers and welcome the involvement of parents. The children are very grateful to attend this school. It has amazing teachers who feel fortunate to have been assigned to this elementary school in Danbury so they go above and beyond. They have an outstanding reading program. The kids also built an outdoor garden that is state of the art. The whole community is close and the parents know they are lucky to be so they are super sweet and helpful. We moved here from another town that is better known to have great schools and have been blown away. Park Avenue School is socially and emotionally and academically so much better. The kids are nicer, the teachers are wonderful. The principal is one of the best in Fairfield County.... Read 2 reviews

Freshman: I am currently in Rogers Park Middle School and the school is very welcoming with very nice teachers that will help you out in any way. Every month we have a award ceremony for the whole 6,7,or 8th grades to recognize the work that you have done. I am personally a 6th grader and I already know the school like the back of my hand. This school has a lot of options for music and arts and they have a lot of heritage. I definitely recommend RPMS.... Read 4 reviews
