As with other parts of Lower Township it is covered by Lower Township School District for elementary grades and Lower Cape May Regional School District for secondary grades.

Three of the Lower Township elementary district facilities are in Cold Spring:

  • Carl T. Mitnick Elementary School (grades 1-2)[6] - This facility houses the district administration.[7] The school was named after Carl T. Mitnick, who donated land to the township.[8] He developed Tranquility Park and did development in North Cape May.[9]
  • Maud Abrams Elementary School (grades 3-4)[10]
  • Sandman Consolidated School (grades 5-6)[11]

David Douglass School (pre-kindergarten and kindergarten) is in Villas CDP. The LCMR schools (Richard Teitelman Middle and Lower Cape May Regional High School) are in the Erma area.

Students are also eligible to attend Cape May County Technical High School in Cape May Court House, which serves students from the entire county in its comprehensive and vocational programs, which are offered without charge to students who are county residents.[12][13] Special needs students may be referred to Cape May County Special Services School District in Cape May Court House.

In the mid-20th century there was a separate Cold Spring Elementary School. It enrolled students of all races as there was no dedicated school for black children in proximity.[14]
