There were 11,520 students enrolled in Norwalk School District in the 2023-24 school year, 0.1% more than the previous year, according to the Connecticut State Department of Education.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 56.6% of the district’s total enrollment.
Norwalk School District roughly covers 22 schools within Fairfield County and has a main office in Norwalk.
Among those schools, Brien McMahon High School recorded the highest enrollment of 1,766 students in the 2023-24 school year.
Connecticut’s public school enrollment has been in continuous decline over the past decade, falling to an estimated 508,402 students in the 2024-25 school year, according to state data. That represents a drop of about 4,250 students from the prior year and roughly 33,400 fewer students than a decade ago, extending a long-running downward trend in statewide enrollment.
A similar pattern also appears in nonpublic schools. Data from the Connecticut State Department of Education shows about 53,000 students were enrolled in nonpublic schools in 2023-24, slightly fewer than in 2019-20 and well below levels in the late 2010s.
