Orleans

Situated at 78 Eldredge Parkway in Orleans, Massachusetts, the Orleans public school district serves as an active, standard public school system rooted in the Barnstable Town metropolitan area. Set within a large suburban community on lower Cape Cod, the district operates a single school dedicated exclusively to foundational elementary education, catering to children from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Accessible online through the Nauset Public Schools portal (nausetschools.org), this non-charter district plays a vital role in providing a structured, community-centered primary education.

Serving a close-knit student body of 149 learners, the district offers an intimate academic environment with grade-level cohorts ranging from 16 students in second grade to 35 in third grade. To foster academic growth and holistic development, the district maintains an exceptionally strong professional team, employing approximately 41 full-time equivalent teachers alongside 7 instructional aides and nearly 32 support personnel. With a total workforce of roughly 80 full-time equivalent staff members, the district achieves an extraordinarily low student-to-educator ratio, allowing for highly individualized instruction, comprehensive learning support, and a nurturing environment tailored to early childhood success.
