The Greenwich Township School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Greenwich Township, in Cumberland County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4]

Under the terms of the Greenwich - Stow Creek Partnership established in 2009 with the Stow Creek School District in Stow Creek Township, New Jersey, students from both townships attend Morris Goodwin School for grades K-4 and Stow Creek School for grades 5-8.[5]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprising one school, had an enrollment of 82 students and 22.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 3.6:1.[1] In the 2016-17 school year, it had 62 students, the second-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state.[6]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[7]
