Summary:
Walpole, Massachusetts is home to five listed schools — three elementary schools (Fisher, Elm Street School, and Boyden) and two high schools (Walpole High and Norfolk County Agricultural) — serving 2,810 students in a suburban community southwest of Boston. The Walpole district ranks 42 of 351 districts statewide (88th percentile, 4 stars), while Norfolk County Agricultural is a separate district ranked 171 of 351 (51st percentile, 3 stars).
All three elementaries beat state averages in ELA, math, and science. Fisher is the standout: 57 of 899 elementary schools (94th percentile, 5 stars), with 64.17 ELA, 73.75 math, and 75.49 science — about 19.9 points above the district and 34.5 above the state in science. Elm Street School ranks in the 85th percentile and sits above the state in all three subjects, though slightly below the district in math. Boyden has improved most, climbing from the 64th percentile in 2023–24 to the 79th in 2025–26, but its current scores still trail the district in all three subjects. The elementary spread is wide: 26.5 points separate Fisher and Boyden in science.
Among high schools, Walpole High (89 of 353, 75th percentile, 4 stars) is the stronger academic performer, above the state in every reported subject and 18.3 points above it in 10th-grade math (62.01); its scores did dip from 2024–25. Its graduation rate is 96.6% with a 1.3% dropout rate. Norfolk County Agricultural posts the highest graduation rate (98.6%), lowest student-teacher ratio (9.8), and highest spending ($23,659), yet its 26.49 math proficiency is 17.2 points below the state — the only below-state result here. Free/reduced-price lunch data is blank for all five schools, so equity comparisons are not possible.
