Summary:
Zip code 02557 (Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts) is home to exactly one high school: Martha's Vineyard Regional High, serving grades 9–12 with 744 students as part of the Martha's Vineyard district. Because there is only one school here, there is no local peer to compare it against; the useful comparisons are to the state as a whole and to the school's own past performance.
Martha's Vineyard Regional High performs above the Massachusetts average in most of its most recent MCAS measures. In 2025–26, 10th grade English (49.7% proficient vs. 45.48% statewide), Mathematics (44.85% vs. 43.73%), and Biology (40.44% vs. 37.68%) all cleared the state mark. Science was the exception, at 37.5% against a state figure of 40.5% — a 3-point deficit, and a reversal from a slim advantage the year before. Those results arrived alongside statewide declines, but the school's drops were steeper: ELA fell 6.3 points, Math 4.86 points, and Science 9.03 points year over year. Its ranking is 144th of 353 schools (59th percentile) with a 3-star rating, following a 52 → 60 → 59 percentile path over three years and never dipping below 3 stars.
Resources are a genuine outlier. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio is 8.5, implying roughly 87–88 teachers for 744 students, and per-pupil spending was $32,790 in 2020–21 — on the order of double typical state levels, though that figure is now several years old. Outcomes are mixed: the graduation rate is 83.9%, while the reported dropout rate is 12.5%. Those two nearly sum to a full cohort, so the dropout figure is best treated as a flag for verification rather than a settled fact. Free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank (unknown, not zero), leaving families no way to weigh performance against student need.
