Summary:
Norfolk, Massachusetts is home to three schools — two elementary and one middle school, with no high school or alternative school in this city list — serving a combined 1,762 students across the Norfolk and King Philip districts. All three schools perform well, and the two with tested grades score above the Massachusetts state average in every reported subject.
Freeman-Kennedy School (grades 3–6, 579 students) is the academic standout. It earns 4 stars, ranks 128th of 899 schools in 2025–2026 (86th percentile), and has improved steadily over three years. Its scores beat the state by wide margins: ELA 58.72 vs. 40.03, math 66.43 vs. 41.11, and science 60.74 vs. 40.98. Its highest reported result is 3rd grade math at 75.21, against a state figure of 42.19. H Olive Day serves PK–2 (477 students), so it has no MCAS scores; its notable data points are the highest per-student spending at $17,516 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.2.
King Philip Middle School (grades 7–8, 706 students — the largest school here) is also 4 stars and above state in every subject, with math its strength at 53.64 vs. 41.11. However, its percentile rank slipped from 77th to 73rd, and ELA fell from 54.03 to 46.58 while 8th grade civics dropped from 54.52 to 44.78. Freeman-Kennedy, by contrast, has the lowest per-student spending ($16,224) but the strongest outcomes, and its scores were nearly flat year over year. Note that free/reduced lunch data is not reported for any of these schools, and H Olive Day's lack of MCAS results is expected for a PK–2 school.
