GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Pros: My experience with King Philip Middle School was pretty good. I lived in Wrentham at the time, so I liked that I was able to meet more friends from Norfolk and Plainville, which I am still friends with today as a senior in high school and living in another state. Cons: I would like to see their elective choices change. At both the middle school and the high school, they did not have much to choose from. I liked the electives that I took, I just wish that their programs were a little better and had more classes to choose from.

Attention to detail, teachers that demand real effort, writing programs that challenge...my 8th grade daughter writes like a novelist and this is because of her teachers. KP gets a bad rap from parents because its a "regional school" and parents think their little Johnny or Sally is better than that...
