## Schools[edit]

Foxborough Public Schools operates five schools: 3 elementary schools (2 that are K-4 and 1 that is PreK-4), a middle school (5-8) and a high school (9-12).[2]

There are fields in back (one baseball diamond and one softball field) and woods with trails that are only used when permitted by faculty.[3]
* Taylor Elementary School is a K-4 Elementary School enrolling 224 students as of 2018.[1] Headed by Peter Regan, the Taylor Elementary School is the smallest elementary school and the smallest school overall in the Foxborough Public Schools system by number of students enrolled. The school boasts a cafeteria with full kitchen services that is separate from the 1/2 gym and 1/2 auditorium.

* Foxborough High School is a 9-12 High School enrolling 813 students as of 2018.[1] Headed by Principal James Donovan and Assistant Principal Joseph Scozzaro,[7] Foxborough High School boasts a cafeteria with full kitchen services, a newly renovated gymnasium with locker room facilities, an auditorium, a new Turf Football Field, Soccer Fields, Baseball Fields, Frisbee Golf Course, parking for faculty and students and classrooms with a wide range of amenities (some science classes have laboratory spaces).
