The Middle Township Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from Middle Township, in Cape May County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second-lowest of eight groupings.
