Summary:
Norfolk County Agricultural is the only school in the Norfolk County Agricultural area — a single high school serving grades 9–12 with 597 students at 400 Main Street in Walpole, MA. Because it is the sole school in this listing, district-level figures mirror the school's own results, and parents will find no other public school here to compare it against directly.
Academically, the profile is mixed. Science, Biology, and English Language Arts all sit above the state average in the reported years. In 2025–2026, Science was 47.86% proficient versus 40.50% statewide, Biology end-of-course was 47.22% versus 37.68%, and ELA was 48.37% versus 45.48%. ELA, however, dropped sharply from 60.78% in 2024–2025, when it beat the state by more than 10 points, so that advantage has narrowed considerably. Mathematics is the clearest weakness: 26.49% proficient in 2025–2026 against 43.73% statewide, and 32.47% against 44.60% the year before — a gap that widened year over year. Science and Biology above-state results are the school's most consistent academic strength.
Outcomes beyond test scores look strong. The graduation rate is 98.6% and the dropout rate is 1.4% for 2024–2025, alongside a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.8, implying roughly 61 teachers. Per-student spending was $23,659 in 2020–2021, though that figure is several years older than the rest of the data and should be read as historical context. Rank history shows steady improvement — from 175 of 348 (50th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 149 of 353 (58th percentile) in 2025–2026 — while the district-level snapshot in the record lists 171 of 351 (51st percentile). Free/reduced lunch data is blank, so economic context for these results is unknown.
