Today, State Senator Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) issued the following statement after US News and World Report’s annual ranking of the best high schools in Connecticut named East Hartford’s Connecticut International Baccalaureate Academy the top high school in the state. The school has previously received the Blue Ribbon School distinction from the federal Department of Education and has been named the top secondary magnet school in the United States; it was lauded for its college preparation, breadth of curriculum, and student performance.
“It’s truly an honor, and a testament to investment and focus on local education, that the Connecticut IB Academy was again named the top high school in the state. The entire East Hartford community should be proud of this achievement, which reflects the hard work of students, faculty and staff combined. Strong college preparation and intensive classroom efforts that result in such high marks on a national scale should be lauded.”
