Pomfret School Ranked as One of Nation's Top Boarding Schools

Niche.com's annual rankings of the top schools in the country was released on August 20th, again ranking Pomfret School as one of the top boarding schools in the nation. Pomfret was ranked as the #5 of all boarding schools in Connecticut and #7 for private schools in the state. Pomfret was ranked with schools like Hotchkiss, Choate Rosemary Hall, Loomis Chaffee and Taft, among others.

Niche, a website for researching schools, used a variety of factors, including SAT/ACT scores, student-teacher ratio, the quality of colleges students consider and reviews from students and parents for its ranking.

Niche assigns a standardized score for each factor, which is then weighted before an overall score is calculated for each school district. The overall scores are again standardized and some districts are disqualified from receiving a final letter grade if there isn't enough data.
