GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The worst experience at Naugatuck High School is the amount of rule changing and how they never stick with the rules they set for students and all the fights I've seen at this school. The best part of this school is I feel like I always have help and someone to talk to if I ever need it. The work load is balanced and you have lots of freedom with your classes and your schedule.

I can say this because when I played sports up until I had a career ending injury dealing with the administrators was so easy, they would help you out as much as possible. After I...
