Summary:
ZIP code 02557 covers Oak Bluffs, MA and contains two schools — Martha's Vineyard Regional High, a grades 9–12 high school with 744 students, and Oak Bluffs Elementary, a PK–8 school with 402 students — together enrolling 1,146 students, with the high school serving about 64.9% and the elementary about 35.1%. Although the area summary lists one elementary and one high school, Oak Bluffs Elementary also educates middle-grade students. One caution when reading the data: free/reduced lunch figures are blank for both schools, so economic context is unavailable, and spending data is from 2020–2021 while test and ranking data is more recent.
Oak Bluffs Elementary is the standout. It ranks 336 of 899 statewide (63rd percentile, 3 stars), up from the 45th percentile three years earlier, and its district, Oak Bluffs, ranks 117 of 351.
