There are many more important things to consider when examining the effectiveness of a school and the education it provides your children than the quality of the cafeteria and food being prepared for your children.
But, the little things can definitely contribute to how happy your child is at school and Niche.com has ranked tens of thousands of public high school cafeterias in the United States[1] to determine, which ones are the best.
They also did a statewide ranking. Nationally, Connecticut had four public high schools crack the top 100 list.
Drumroll please, the top 5 public high school cafeterias in the United States are: William T. McFatter Technical Center in Florida, Itiner is Early College High School in Utah, Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Massachusetts, Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Illinois, and High Tech High School in New Jersey.
Connecticut schools that cracked the top 100 were New Canaan High School at No. 22 nationally, Weston High School, No. 86, Coginchaug Regional High School in Durham, No. 92, and Staples High School in Westport, No. 94.
One reviewer for William T. McFatter Technical Center wrote, "Food was extravagant at McFatter Technical Center. Everyday students from the culinary department made specials such as salmon w/ wild rice and vegetables or chicken breast w/ quinoa and vegetables et cetera. There was also a place called "La Piazza" which offered a variety of foods such as pizzas, yogurts, drinks, soups, sandwiches, desserts, chips, muffins, cakes and everything was made fresh daily. Another food option was "burger house" where burgers and fries were offered."
