School quality is a key consideration for families and young couples who relocate to Cape Cod. These homebuyers will want to know that the Cape offers a wide range of good schools including public, charter, private, and vocational options. In fact, four high schools on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard have been ranked among the top 100 high schools in the United States.

 

Public Schools

Cape Cod public schools fall into ten separate school districts. Many towns, cities, and villages on the Cape have their own school district. A few regional school districts incorporate two or more separate municipalities.

The individual districts and the schools they operate are listed below.

Barnstable Public Schools

Bourne Public Schools

Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District

Falmouth Public Schools

Mashpee Public Schools

Monomoy Regional School District

Nauset Public Schools

Provincetown Schools

Sandwich Public Schools

Truro Schools

Regional Technical High Schools

In addition to the high schools in each of the ten school districts on Cape Cod, students may choose to attend one of the two regional technical high schools on the Cape.

There may be more applicants to either regional technical high school than there are available seats. As a result, the application process for both schools takes into account several factors, including scholastic achievement, attendance, school discipline/conduct, local guidance counselor’s recommendation, and a student interview.

Private Schools

Families interested in private schooling can choose from the 17 privately-owned schools serving Cape Cod students. However, not every municipality on the Cape has a private school within its boundaries.

In fact, majority of Cape Cod private schools are located in two towns: Barnstable, which has eight, and Bourne with has three. Of the remaining private schools, two are in Falmouth, one in Harwich, and one in Yarmouth.

Local Tip: You can find a report card for every public school on Cape Cod provided by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Just enter the name of the school to get performance metrics.

Charter Schools

Cape Cod has three public charter schools. Three are located within the Barnstable Public School District. They are the Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School (Hyannis), Marston Mills East Horace Mann Charter School (Marston Mills), and Sturgis Charter Public School (Hyannis).

The fourth charter school on the Cape is Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School in Harwich. You can find more information on these charter schools from the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association.
