Cuttyhunk Elementary School, located on Tower Hill Road in Cuttyhunk, Massachusetts, is one of the smallest and most unique public schools in the United States. Serving the tiny island community of Cuttyhunk, part of the Elizabeth Islands in Dukes County, this one-room schoolhouse provides a personalized educational experience for its students. The school typically serves only a handful of students from kindergarten through eighth grade, often having just one teacher to cover all subjects and grade levels. This setup allows for highly individualized attention and a flexible, resourceful approach to education. Given its remote location and small student population, the school plays a vital role in the community, often acting as a hub for events and activities beyond its educational function. The curriculum is designed to adapt to the needs of its students, incorporating local culture and the natural environment into learning activities.
