The Little Silver School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Little Silver, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [3]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "J", the-highest of eight groupings.
