Great Safe school. My children love the education and love going in everyday. The sports are also top notch.

You are going to find good and bad teachers because no school is perfect. It will depend on the student and the experience of the teacher on what type of experience your child will have. Check how the school rates in each subject. Also if your a minority check the ratio of minority students in all schools some cases it makes a difference on your child's experience. I give this school an average rating.

I had wonderful experiences with the quality of the school, extra curricular activities and the overall environment of the campus where both my daughters graduated. Exceptional teachers ( with a rare exception), challenging classes - my older daughter excelled in a marine biology elective. My younger was involved in the film festival and film classes. Both daughters have attended excellent schools: Fairfield and Regis... I'm extremely pleased!

I love my math science t4ach but, think that they expect too much out of there students and some just don't care. All I have been watching in history as a freshman are rated are history movies. There are so many bullies and bad influences. Can't wait to get out of there. I had an incident where i got punchd in the face by some junior guy (I'm a girl) and not even the superintendent did nothing about it. Unbelievable!

Not to sound like a cliche, but you get out of education what you put into it. If you have a bright, involved student, save the money towards college. We can all use that extra $ when it comes to college tuition. Our son is at Villanova, as a freshman, and is in the honors program and thriving. He truly feels that he was extremely well prepared for his college education. He is continuing Mandarin and has found that, even though a new language at WHS when he started, it gave him an excellent foundation to continue in higher education. They are making Mandarin an honor's class at WHS, as they should. kudos. Many great educators at Walpole if you raise the bar for your children and seek to challenge them. His class was full of very bright students that got into the best of schools, and of those I have heard about, all are thriving. Great group of kids.

My children had an excellent experience at Walpole High. All three of them went to the colleges of their choice (all very selective schools) and two of them went on to successful careers (one is still at Boston College). The teachers were great, guidance very good, and atmosphere supportive. We moved to Walpole from out of state and were very impressed.
