Newsweek Magazine recently ranked the Top 1,200 High Schools in America.
New Fairfield High School, located in New Fairfield, Connecticut, was one of eleven Connecticut high schools to make the list.
Ranking as number 613 in the nation, New Fairfield High School was number 6 here in Connecticut.
Connecticut's top high schools, along with their national rank, are as follows:
- #260: Conard High School, West Hartford, CT
- #298: Farmington High School, Farmington, CT
- #444: Ridgefield High School, Ridgefield, CT
- #553: Wilton High School, Wilton, CT
- #608: Greenwich High School, Greenwich, CT
- #613: New Fairfield High School, New Fairfield, CT

- #973: East Lyme High School, East Lyme, CT
- #1179: Pomperaug High School, Southbury, CT
- #1184: Fairfield-Warde High School, Fairfield, CT
Criteria used to rank the schools was their own "Challenge Index," which factors in the number of Advanced Placement tests each school administers, divided by the number of high school seniors in the school, so that larger schools would not have an advantage over smaller schools. The creators of the "Challenge Index" claim that this ranking removes wealth from the equation, which usually results in higher test scores, and focuses on how the schools are preparing the students for college and life after high school.
