The Pemberton Township School District serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district is one of 31 former Abbott districts statewide, which are now referred to as "SDA Districts" based on the requirement for the state to cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority. The school district serves Pemberton Township (including the communities of Browns Mills, Country Lake Estates, Pemberton Heights and Presidential Lakes Estates and the Pemberton Township portion of Fort Dix) along with Pemberton Borough. As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprised of 11 schools, had an enrollment of 4,880 students and 434.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.2:1.
