Education
Martha's Vineyard is served by Martha's Vineyard Public Schools:
- Edgartown School (Grades K-8)
- West Tisbury School (Grades K-8)
- Oak Bluffs School (Grades K-8)
- Tisbury School (Grades K-8)
- Chilmark School (Grades K-5)
- Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School (Grades K-12)
- Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (Grades 9-12)
Five of the six towns have their own elementary schools, while Aquinnah residents usually attend nearby Chilmark's elementary school. The Chilmark school serves only grades pre-K to 5, so students in grades 6 - 8 must attend another middle school—usually the West Tisbury school. The Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School, located in West Tisbury, serves the entire island and provides grades K-12. Martha's Vineyard Regional High School, which is located in Oak Bluffs, serves the entire island.
