The Gloucester Township Public Schools is a community public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Gloucester Township, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3] The district operates eight PreK/K-5 elementary schools and three grade 6-8 middle schools, including the Ann A. Mullen Middle School, dedicated in September 1996 and named in honor of former mayor Ann A. Mullen.[4] The district describes itself as the state's largest elementary school district.[5]
As of the 2020–21 school year, the district, comprising 11 schools, had an enrollment of 6,481 students and 534.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1.[1]
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[6]
Students in public school for ninth through twelfth grades attend one of the three high schools that are part of the Black Horse Pike Regional School District. The schools in the district (with 2020–21 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[7]) are Highland Regional High School[8] (1,188 students; located in Blackwood), Timber Creek Regional High School[9] (1,187; Erial) or Triton Regional High School[10] (1,103; Runnemede). Students from Gloucester Township attend one of the three schools based on their residence address; students from Bellmawr and Runnemede, the other two communities in the district, all attend Triton High School.[11][12][13][14]
