Mullett Creek Provisional School opened circa August 1910 as a half-time school with Baffle Creek Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher between the two schools).

In 1916 it became a full-time school (no longer sharing its teacher). On 17 January 1920, it became Mullett Creek State School. It closed circa 1963. The school name sometimes appears as "Mullet" (one "t").
