Bridgehampton School
Bridgehampton School, the only school in the district, educates students from Pre-K to Grade 12.
The sports teams are known as the "Killer Bees," and the basketball team has won eight small-school (Class D) state championships as of 2009, including in 1978, 1979, 1980, 1984, 1986, 1996, 1997, and 1998. Students now play football at East Hampton, New York High School in a consoritum that also includes Pierson Middle-High School in Sag Harbor, New York.
For a period that lasted through most of the 1990s, the school had a primarily African-American enrollment, but a 2004 New York Times article detailed large demographic changes in the community and the school.
Due to its small size, some have proposed that the high school portion of the school should be closed and students sent to larger nearby high schools in adjacent districts. A ballot to close the high school during the 1987-88 school year narrowly succeeded, but was later overturned. A 2009 initiative was also defeated.
