Martha's Vineyard Charter Public School is a charter school serving students on Martha's Vineyard, the island located about seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod in Dukes County. The island is known for its year-round communities, maritime character, and a mix of small villages such as Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and Vineyard Haven. Martha's Vineyard has a long-standing tradition as a summer destination for visitors from across New England and beyond, and its towns feature historic whaling-era architecture and conservation lands managed by the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank.

Spending is total per-pupil expenditure from all sources. Dollar figures aren't adjusted for inflation. "MA median" is the middle district in each year; small districts can spend far more per student, so the median is a fairer yardstick than the average. Salary is the average across 22 full-time-equivalent teachers.
