In an exciting development for Norwalk’s educational community, The Center for Global Studies (#7) and P-Tech Norwalk (#42) have been ranked among the top 50 high schools in Connecticut, according to a new educational ranking company Niche.com report. The Center for Global Studies received an overall grade of A+, while P-Tech Norwalk earned an impressive A-.

Niche.com, known for its comprehensive school evaluations, takes a unique approach to rankings. In its 10th year, Niche.com's rankings stand out from other rating systems that rely almost exclusively on test scores and academic performance. In addition to these metrics, Niche incorporates input from students, alumni, and parents and data from the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate schools' teachers, resources, and facilities.

The Center for Global Studies’ outstanding A+ rating highlights the school’s exceptional academic and cultural offerings. At the same time, P-Tech Norwalk's A- showcases its commitment to providing a solid foundation in technical education and career preparation.

Both schools have cemented their reputations as leading educational institutions in the state, providing students with the resources and opportunities to thrive in an ever-changing world. The rankings affirm that Norwalk continues to offer students access to some of Connecticut's finest public school programs, contributing to academic excellence and future success.

The 2025 Best Public High Schools in America ranking, released earlier this week, shows the nation's best public high schools, including magnet and charter schools.
