History
The district is composed of two elementary schools. The George J Mitchell School opened in 1953 as the "Little Egg Harbor Elementary School", housing grades K-6. In 1989, a new school, the Frog Pond Elementary School opened as the "Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School", housing grades 3-6, while the Mitchell School housed grades K-2 from then on.
Starting the 2009-2010 school year, both schools were renovated and converted into K-6 schools, with the Intermediate School being renamed to its current name.
