The Clinton Township School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves children in grades Pre-K through 8 in Clinton Township, in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's four schools had an enrollment of 1,718 students and 141 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.18.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide, ostensibly 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.[3]

Public school students in grades 9 through 12 attend North Hunterdon High School in Annandale as part of the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District. North Hunterdon High School serves students from Bethlehem Township, Clinton Town, Clinton Township, Franklin Township, Lebanon Borough and Union Township.[4]

The Clinton Township School District has undertaken a project to consider the possibility of withdrawing from the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District to form a K-12 school district. In February 2005, the Clinton Township Board of Education commissioned a study to consider the educational and financial effects of a proposed withdrawal scenario for Clinton Township, with a report estimating that annual savings for the district could be as high as $1.2 million.[5]
