History


East Hampton's first school dates back to the 17th century, where the school was one of four public buildings in a village of 50-60 homes. The state-chartered Clinton Academy operated a one-room schoolhouse from about 1785 to 1881.
The modern school district traces back to 1894, when the first school opened on Newtown Lane. By 1924, primary and secondary grades were in two neighboring buildings. Elementary students left the campus in 1961 and high school students left the campus in 1970, turning the remaining building into the East Hampton Middle School.




Enrollment


The total enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year was 897 students. In the 2016-2017 school year, the East Hampton School District reported to the New York State Education Department it had 1,848 students in prekindergarten through twelfth grade.
The district also educates secondary students from the Amagansett, Montauk, Sagaponack, Springs, and Wainscott school districts, none of which have their own high school. Proposals have been made to merge the nearby districts, but have not been adopted.
The high school football team also includes students from Pierson High School in Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton School in Bridgehampton.
