History
In 2008, the district had about 215 students in its K-8 school, and it sent 60 students to Millville high schools. It employed 20 teachers for its K-8 students.
Students had previously been sent to attend high school in Millville, as part of a relationship with the Millville Public Schools. Students attended
Memorial High School for ninth grade and half of tenth and
Millville Senior High School for 10th grade through the 12th grade with those in attendance as of the 2013-14 school year completing until their education in Millville until graduation; the Woodbine district estimated savings of $4,000 per student by the switch from Millville to Middle Township, with total savings of $200,000 annually after all of Woodbine's high school students are attending Middle Township.
In 2008 the Woodbine District was considering switching its receiving high school from Millville to Middle Township. In 2013 the Woodbine chose to change its receiving high school district to Middle Township. Lynda Anderson-Towns, superintendent of the Woodbine district, cited the closer proximity and smaller size of Middle Township High. Millville is 20 miles (32 km) away from Woodbine while Middle Township High is 12 miles (19 km) from Woodbine. The first group of Woodbine 9th graders to Middle Township High began attending in fall 2013. The Woodbine students already attending Millville high schools remained there.
