The Long Hill Township School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Millington Elementary School and Gillette Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in this affluent community.

Additionally, Millington Elementary has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, compared to the state average.
In contrast, Gillette Elementary School spends more per student ($8,845) than Millington Elementary ($7,775), yet its academic performance and other key metrics do not match Millington's.
