The Franklin Township Public Schools serve students in kindergarten through sixth grade. As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its three schools had an enrollment of 2,632 students and 109.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 23.9:1.[85] Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[86]) are
Mary F. Janvier Elementary School[87] (596 students in grades K-2),

For seventh through twelfth grades, students attend the Delsea Regional School District, which serves students from both Elk Township and Franklin Township.[93] 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.[94] Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[95]) are

The New Jersey Department of Education has considered a vote by the Franklin Township Board of Education 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.[100][101]
