History
By 2013, the high school's enrollment was declining, as Avalon, Dennis Township, and Stone Harbor were sending fewer students. In 2013, the Woodbine School District changed its receiving high school district from Millville School District to Middle Township district. The first group of 15 ninth graders from Woodbine to be sent to Middle Township High School began attending in fall 2013. Lynda Anderson-Towns, superintendent of the Woodbine district, cited the closer proximity and smaller size of Middle Township High. Millville is away from Woodbine while Middle Township High School is away.
