As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's nine schools had an enrollment of 5,876 students and 469 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.53.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth highest of eight groupings.

From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
Students from Chesilhurst in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade attend the district's schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Chesilhurst Borough School District. The Chesilhurst district had served public school students in kindergarten through sixth grade at Shirley B. Foster Elementary School. After the completion of the 2008-09 school year, the district was no longer operating any schools and is sending all of its students to the Winslow Township schools as part of an expansion of the pre-existing sending/receiving relationship that commenced in the 2009-10 school year.
