Summary
King Philip Regional High in Wrentham, MA is a grades 9–12 regional high school with 1,114 students, part of the King Philip district. For 2025–2026 it ranks 107th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (70th percentile, 4 stars). That is solid and above the state average, but far below its 2015–2016 peak of 24th statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars); it has generally sat in the 70s–80s percentile since, dipped to the 60th in 2024–2025, then partly rebounded. Among 11 nearby high schools it places 6th — behind Medway High, Franklin High, Walpole High, Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical, and Mansfield High, and ahead of Foxborough High, Millis High School, North Attleboro High, Norfolk County Agricultural, and Bellingham High School.
Math is King Philip's clearest academic strength: 58.54% proficient, well above the state's 43.73% and 5th of 11 locally, behind Walpole, Franklin, Mansfield, and Medway. ELA is more middling at 50.6%, above the state's 45.48% and about even with Walpole, but below Medway, Franklin, Tri-County, Mansfield, and Millis. Science is the notable relative weakness — 45.49% is above the state's 40.5% yet ranks 9th of 11 locally. Biology (47.64%) is mid-pack, and Physics (51.75%) beats the state's 46.58% but trails Walpole's 56.86%. Test scores dropped from 2023–2024 highs, and the state fell too, though King Philip's ELA edge over the state narrowed. Reported Physics all-grades scores of 0 in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 look like an anomaly, not a real proficiency result.
The graduation rate is strong at 96.0%, and the dropout rate is 2.2%, higher than several nearby districts. The student–teacher ratio of 13.5 is the third highest locally, behind Franklin and Medway, and per-student spending ($17,105, 2020–2021) is mid-pack. Subgroup results are uneven: effectiveness is relatively stronger for Hispanic students (69th percentile) and female students (71st), and weaker for special education students (45th percentile, 2 stars). Note that free/reduced lunch data are blank and should not be read as zero, and spending figures are older than the test and rank data.
