Another reason many of the residents here move to Wilton, and maybe out of the city, is for the wonderful award winning schools. The educational system has been one of the best in the state of Connecticut offering the students the best in classes, technology and activities that much larger schools may have. Because the school is a bit smaller than other nearby towns, the students get the attention from teachers that they need to
succeed. Almost 99% of all Wilton High School graduates go on to attend a four-year college or university.
