The Waterford Township School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade from Waterford Township, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprising three schools, had an enrollment of 819 students and 78.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1.
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.
For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend the Hammonton Public Schools in Hammonton, as part of a sending/receiving relationship, alongside students from Folsom who attend for grades 9-12 as part of an agreement with the Folsom Borough School District. Schools in the Hammonton district attended by Waterford Township students (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are Hammonton Middle School with 879 students in grades 6-8 and Hammonton High School with 1,393 students in grade 9-12.
In the wake of the dissolution of the Lower Camden County Regional School District, the Hammonton board of education voted in 1999 to begin accepting an estimated 800 students from Waterford Township for grades 7-12 starting as soon as 2002, with the tuition paid by students from Waterford helping to lower overall costs to Hammonton taxpayers and the New Jersey Department of Education approved the agreement.
