STAMFORD, CT — The latest school rankings released by the data analysis company Niche offer a look at how K-12 schools in Stamford compare to each other. Niche, which released its eighth annual version of the rankings on Monday, looks at a variety of criteria in determining a grade for both public and private K-12 schools in the area, including academics, teachers and diversity. Overall, the Stamford public school district was given a B grade. It's ranked as the third most diverse school district in the state of Connecticut behind Manchester and Norwalk, but it was ranked 71st overall out of 117.

Significantly less importance was placed on SAT and ACT scores this year, Niche said. Any factor in its methodology that is related to test scores was reduced by one third. The company combined ratings from students, alumni and parents with quantitative data from the U.S. Department of Education and other sources to evaluate teachers, resources, facility, extracurricular activity opportunities and other factors.
