Hello,
Thank you for providing the opportunity to share my research with you.
To make the research better merit the fee, I have added to the
Connecticut information with info from the Maryland and Virginia
suburbs of Washington -- what you didn’t get from the other answer. I
was unable to find guidance counselors’ names for a few of the
religiously affiliated schools. All schools are public unless
otherwise noted in the last column. If you have trouble reading this,
please request clarification.
A search strategy for this list would be extraordinarily long. Most of
the information came from the schools’ web sites. Some data also came
from the Connecticut Education Department
(http://www.csde.state.ct.us/public/der/ssp/sch0001/school.htm) or
Yahoo! Real Estate (http://list.realestate.yahoo.com/re/schools/). The
list was derived from the U.S. Education Department’s “Blue Ribbon
School” (http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/BlueRibbonSchools/sch_honor.html),
which I found with a Google search on “blue-ribbon schools.”
I hope this list is helpful to you.
