Public school students in seventh through twelfth grades attend the schools of the Warren Hills Regional School District, which also serves students from the municipalities of Franklin Township, Mansfield Township, Washington Borough and Washington Township, along with those from Oxford who attend for grades 9-12 only on a tuition basis as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[6] [7] Schools in the district (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[8]) are Warren Hills Regional Middle School[9] with 542 students in grades 7 and 8 (located in Washington Borough) and Warren Hills Regional High School[10] with 1,205 students in grades 9 - 12 (located in Washington Township).[11]

The district's board of education, comprised of seven members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[17] [18] [19]
