Norwell Public Schools
Our Norwell School systems are some of the best in the state; Norwell's performance and scores are even competitive with private institutions. School Rating Systems have ranked Norwell as 25th out of 331 Massachusetts School districts, placing our schools in the top 10 percent.

Norwell is also known for its stellar high school graduation rate (95-99%) each year. In 2006, Norwell's graduation rate was highest on the South Shore.

Whether at the Elementary, Middle, or High School level, Norwell demonstrates excellence in all manners of teaching and learning.

Aside from scores, as a small community, Norwell schools foster a welcoming atmosphere. Students know each other like family, and treat each other in a way that inspired Caitlin's quote above.
