Maurice River Township students attend the district's high schools, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Maurice River Township School District. Commercial Township and Lawrence Township also send students to the district's high schools; The sending districts filed suit in 2009, challenging the way in which the Millville district charges for students from outside the district to attend the school. Students from Woodbine had attended the district's high schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship, before the Woodbine district switched to have students attend Middle Township High School.

As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,107 students and 101.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.9:1. There were 470 students (42.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 87 (7.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
