West Hartford High Schools Excel In Yet Another Ranking

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Fresh off a decent ranking from U.S. News & World Report recently, West Hartford's two public high schools have done well in a recent Niche.com ranking as well.

Both Conard and Hall high schools placed in the education platform Nich.com's top 25 public high schools in Connecticut.

Conard, located at 110 Beechwood Road, was ranked 8th in the state, while Hall, located at 975 N. Main St., was ranked 17th in Connecticut.

Niche’s 2024 Best Schools and Districts rankings include data on 94,058 public schools, 30,809 private schools and 12,192 school districts.

This year’s rankings include 7,375 newly ranked public schools.

Ranking No. 1 overall in Connecticut was New Canaan High School.

Niche said its rankings, now in the ninth year, differ from others that rely almost exclusively on test scores and academic performance.

According to Nich, rankings also include input from students, alumni and parents, as well as quantitative data from sources such as the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate teachers, resources and facilities.

The company said its rankings were created to provide families with valuable information — both quantitative and qualitative — on schools in their area or in a neighborhood.
