Sagaponack Common School District is a public school district located in Sagaponack on Long Island, in Suffolk County, New York, United States. It is roughly co-extensive with the village of Sagaponack, which is part of the town of Southampton.
The district operates one school, the Sagaponack School, serving grades K through 3. Affectionally known as "the little red schoolhouse", the district had a total enrollment of 16 students for the 2019–2020 school year and 11 for 2021–22. It is believed to be one of the last remaining "one room" schoolhouses in America. Students then complete their education at either the Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, or East Hampton schools.
The school gets rave reviews from parents, who cite its close community, excellent staffing, and extremely strong teacher to student ratio. The district's superintendent is John (Jay) Finello. He replaced the prior superintendent, Alan Van Cott, in July 2021. Finello previously served as superintendent in three other Long Island districts – East Islip, Huntington, and Springs.
Sagaponack is bordered by the Wainscott school district to the east, the Sag Harbor district to the north, and the Bridgehampton district to the west.
