Mullica Township Schools
The Mullica Township Schools is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Mullica Township, in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2020–21 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 652 students and 56.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.5:1. The Mullica Township Board of Education voted in November 2009 to close the Hilda E. Frame School, which had served pre-kindergarten students. The reasons cited included declining enrollment which allowed the students which were  at Frame to attend the regular elementary school facility. Starting in the 2007-08 school year, as part of an agreement with the Washington Township School District, Green Bank Elementary School received additional teaching support from the Mullica district and shares its superintendent and business administrator. Starting in the 2010-11 school year, Washington Township students in grades six through eight started attending Mullica Township Middle School. With the start of the 2016-17 school year, the Washington Township School District no longer operates and all students from Washington Township attend the Mullica Township Schools as part of a full  sending/receiving relationship. The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second-lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J. Students in ninth through twelfth grades attend Cedar Creek High School, which is located in the northern section of Egg Harbor City and opened to students in September 2010. The school is one of three high schools operated  as part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, which is comprised of the constituent municipalities of Egg Harbor City, Galloway Township and Hamilton Township, and participates in sending/receiving relationships with Port Republic and Washington Township (Burlington County).
