The following list of school districts in New Jersey distinguishes between regional, consolidated and countywide districts and those serving single municipalities. Districts are grouped by county.

There are some non-operating school districts, which are those districts that never operated any school facilities and where all students have attended school in other districts as part of sending/receiving relationships.[1] 13 of those districts were abolished in 2009.[2] Other districts remained in place after political resistance, based on a desire to avoid increased taxation. The state government instead allowed tax rates in the remaining districts to increase.[1] As of 2019 16 non-operating districts remain in existence.[3]

The U.S. Census Bureau lists "Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst" in Burlington County as having its own school district.[4] Students attend area school district public schools, as the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) does not operate any schools on that base. Students on McGuire and Dix may attend one of the following in their respective grade levels, with all siblings in a family taking the same choice: North Hanover Township School District (PK-6), Northern Burlington County Regional School District (7-12), and Pemberton Township School District (K-12).[5]
