An amazing school with a first class education, happy and positive environment, and great sports, alongside extra curricular activities.

As a Junior at this high school their are many things that New Canaan high school excels at. This school has some of the best teachers I've had the pleasure to meet. All sports programs at the school are given time and support by the school and the education is exceptional. Other schools I've been to do not compare to New Canaan as they do not only prepare students for college they prepare students for the rest of their lives.

I'm a parent of two current NCHS students. The academics are as rigorous as a private school, and the extracurriculars - in particular sports and theatre - are top notch. Teachers are attentive, and the guidance counselors are responsive. The reputation the school has for academics is a useful one with colleges. My one watch out is the lack of diversity which is really more of a town issue. Coming from NYC this is definitely missed, especially with regard to underrepresented groups.

First off, anyone who rates this school 1-star is an imbecile who has no sense of what a 1-star school represents. This is perennially rated the top school in the state, and always among the top 5. I've had 3 kids go through this school and can tell you that the teaching is first rate, the guidance...

We moved to New Canaan recently and our transition to NCHS as a 9th grader was excellent. My daughter simply loves her school. Everyone has been patient to explain the many routines that she doesn't know and I am writing because we had the opposite experience to the Parent of 2015. I don't want to s...
