As of the 2013-14 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 757 students and 55.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.6:1.

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.

Since the 2007-08 school year, as part of an agreement with the Washington Township School District, Green Bank Elementary School receives 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 attend Mullica Township Middle School.

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 also includes 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). Cedar Creek High School is zoned to serve students from Egg Harbor City, Mullica Township, Port Republic and Washington Township, while students in portions of Galloway and Hamilton townships have the opportunity to attend Cedar Creek through the school of choice program or through attendance in magnet programs offered at Cedar Creek.
