Summary:
ZIP code 02651 is served by exactly one public high school: Nauset Regional High, located at 100 Cable Rd in North Eastham, which enrolls 737 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Nauset district. Because it is the only high school in this ZIP code, it represents the entire public high-school landscape for local families. It is a 3-star school ranked 162 out of 353 schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 54th percentile. The district is ranked 154 out of 351 districts, at the 56th percentile, also with 3 stars. The school's rank has drifted slightly, from the 59th percentile in 2024–2025 to 57th in 2023–2024 and 54th in 2025–2026, while holding its 3-star rating.
Academically, mathematics is the school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 48.92% of 10th graders were proficient in math versus 43.73% statewide, about 5.2 percentage points above the state, and it was also above the state in 2024–2025 (47.80% vs. 44.60%). English language arts and science, however, show sharp declines. ELA fell from 53.94% proficient in 2024–2025, above the state's 50.66%, to 43.09% in 2025–2026, below the state's 45.48% — a drop of roughly 10.9 percentage points. Science fell even more, from 47.74% (above the state's 45.89%) to 34.68% (below the state's 40.50%), about 13.1 points. Physics remains below state averages in both years (40.91% vs. 46.58% in 2025–2026; 35.06% vs. 44.25% in 2024–2025), though the grade scopes differ, so those figures are not perfectly comparable. Notably, school and district scores differ by less than 0.6 percentage points on every listed test.
Completion and resource indicators are strong. The graduation rate is 96.1% and the dropout rate 1.0% in 2024–2025, both matching the district. The student-teacher ratio is 9.8, suggesting a relatively low student load per teacher, and per-student spending was $22,287 in 2020–2021. The free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported in this record, so socioeconomic context and current spending cannot be assessed.
