Fairfield Warde High School Ranked Among Top 3% of High Schools Nationwide According to U.S. News & World Report

It shouldn't come as any surprise to those of us who graduated from Andrew Warde High School that the school is ranked among the top 500 high schools nationwide today.

That's according to the latest research from U.S. News & World Report, which analyzed data from thousands of schools to produce a list of the nation's best. The top schools are a diverse bunch, and each one has found a unique way to best teach our future leaders.

U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education and data research and analysis business that provides parents with education data on schoolmatters.com, analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 18,000 public high schools to find the very best across the country. These top schools were placed into gold, silver, or bronze medal categories.

Fairfield Warde High School achieved a silver rating, along with neighboring high schools such as New Canaan, Darien, Joel Barlow, Staples, and Weston. Click the image below to access the report.

According to the article, "U.S. News set some clear criteria for academic quality in its new ranking of American high schools. To make the cut, schools have to provide a good education across their entire student body, not just for some students. And they must be preparing students for postsecondary opportunities.

"These criteria mean a lot of schools don't measure up—only 505 schools nationwide earned a silver or gold medal this year."

Congratulations to Fairfield Warde High School for keeping an outstanding academic tradition alive.
