The school overall is very solid for those who don't want to go to college, great resources in the shops to get jobs straight out of high school however its not great at preparing those for college.

This is a good type of education for me because the school switches between academics and shop around every 2 weeks. Shop gives you a community that you connect and stay with during the four years that you are here.

My experience at Henry Abbott Tech has been so great since freshman year. I have learned so much that I don't have any words to explain how great of a High School Henry Abbott Tech is. Henry Abbott Tech has taught me how to be a better student and a better person throughout my four years of high school. I recommend Abbott tech to everybody because is literally the best high school in Connecticut in my opinion.

as a parent of a current 10th grader, the teachers are very involved and work hard to keep the kids on track and put in lots of extra effort to help the kids. I also have a student at Danbury High School and do not feel the DHS has the same type of relationship with the kids. He is happy and learnin...
