Five stars overall based on what I’ve seen and heard

Norwalk HS suffers from a combination of bad-teaching and just plain bad students... i asked a teacher recently why Norwalk is rated 4/10 an her answer was "minority students"... i was offended & appaled that a teacher would blame minorities at NorwalkHS for the deplorable school rating. Teachers are just as bad as the students. Birds of a feather flock together, avoid Norwalk schools if you want your child to succeed. The good reviews on here are clearly written by treachers, Lol

I went to Norwalk High School and let me tell you I am glad I did. NHS is a place where students who want to succeed can. It offers an honors version of almost every core class, wonderful art (dark room etc) and music classes, and tons of AP classes with more every year(English,Spanish(language and literature), French, Physics, Biology, Chem, US history, Comparative Politics, Euro History, Art, and more). It offers programs to expand students horizons with trips to China(which I did and was one of the best experiences of my life, I still talk to both my home stay "Chinese friends" and those of my fellow NHS students after 3 years), Spain, Rome, France, as well as trips to the tropics for biology. I loved many of my teachers and still talk to them. Most importantly the diversity in this school prepares students for the world. You learn about people, not just how to write a good essay (although you learn that too). I'm glad I didn't go to a "better" high school. I learned everything I need to know about academics and people. I can prove it with the acceptance of colleges: UConn, Northeastern U, U of Washington-Seattle. Waitlist: Vassar and Whitman College. Don't overlook NHS.
