Education

The Elk Township School District serves students in public school for preschool through sixth grade at Aura School, which was built in 1927, with the newest addition built in 2002. As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's one school had an enrollment of 394 students and 31.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.47:1.[72]

For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend the Delsea Regional School District, which serves students from both Elk Township and Franklin Township.[73] Students from Newfield attend the district as part of a sending/receiving relationship begun in September 2010 after Newfield ended its prior relationship with the Buena Regional School District.[74] Schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[75]) are Delsea Regional Middle School with 535 students in grades 7 and 8, and Delsea Regional High School with 1,173 students in grades 9 - 12.[76]

The New Jersey Department of Education has considered a vote by the Board of Education of the Franklin Township Public Schools in June 2010 requesting that the district withdraw from the Delsea Regional School District, which would require that the Delsea region be dissolved as about 80% of the regional district's students come from Franklin. With the withdrawal of Franklin Township, two options being considered were to either have Franklin and Elk Townships create a new regional district with Newfield students attending on a send-receive basis, or having Franklin Township establish its own PreK-12 district which would receive students from both Elk Township and Newfield.[77][78]
