District-Level NCES Analysis

Pennsauken Township Board of Education School District operates 10 public schools serving 4,828 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 3 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,891 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Camden County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $31,247 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 30.3% local, 56.7% state, and 13.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $108,425 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 79/100, ranked #33 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 308.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.4% Hispanic or Latino, 18.8% African American, 8.4% White across the district's schools.

Pennsauken High School accounts for 32.5% of all Pennsauken Township Board of Education School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Pennsauken Township Board of Education School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
