About Weston High School

Weston High School earns a composite score of 9.1/10 — labeled Exceptional — placing it among the strongest public high schools in the state. The school serves 709 students in grades 9 through 12, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1 that keeps classrooms small and instruction targeted. The numbers back the rating.

Weston High ranks 31st out of 990 public schools in Connecticut, outperforming 97% of schools statewide. Among Connecticut high schools specifically, it sits 5th out of 196 — a position that reflects genuine academic strength, not favorable demographics alone. Growth scores drive much of that standing: the 9.7/10 growth score signals that students here advance faster than peers at comparable starting points, a harder metric to manufacture than raw proficiency numbers.

Within Weston, it holds the top spot among the district's four public schools. That local rank matters less than the statewide position, but it confirms consistent performance across grade levels. For parents comparing public high school options in Connecticut, the combination of a 9.2/10 academic score and the 9.7/10 growth trajectory makes Weston High a difficult school to rank above — only four others in the state manage it.
