Montauk Union Free School District operates Montauk Public School, a real PK-8 school. Montauk's high-school-age students attend East Hampton High School -- genuinely the easternmost high school in New York State -- via a formal tuition contract between the two districts.
A real, genuinely interconnected regional education structure
In 2025, Montauk UFSD began cooperating with three other area school districts -- Amagansett, East Hampton, and Springs -- on plans to establish a shared regional special-education program, reflecting the East End's real, multi-district approach to serving several individually small hamlet-level districts.
A genuinely younger community profile than other Hamptons markets
Montauk's own real, comparatively younger demographic profile (median age 44.7, ~20% aged 65+) -- the least elevated senior share of any Hamptons market in this project's coverage -- means families may find a somewhat more age-diverse year-round community here than in Sag Harbor, East Hampton, or Southampton.
