District-Level NCES Analysis

Willingboro Public School District operates 8 public schools serving 3,757 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 other, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,690 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Burlington County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,136 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 35.0% local, 58.5% state, and 6.5% 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 $93,968 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 44/100, ranked #358 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 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 313.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.3% African American, 22.6% Hispanic or Latino, 3.8% White across the district's schools.

Willingboro High School accounts for 22.9% of all Willingboro Public School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Willingboro Public 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.
