The Haddonfield Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade in Haddonfield, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprising five schools, had an enrollment of 2,766 students and 209.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.2:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "J", the 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.[4]

The district serves students from the Borough of Haddonfield, along with those from Tavistock who attend the district's schools as part of sending/receiving relationships.[5][6][7] The schools are funded through local property taxes. While most students are residents, a small number of students are enrolled on a tuition or voucher basis.

Each elementary school has approximately three sections in each grade; most students walk to school. The middle school serves grades 6–8. Several world language courses are offered in German, French and Spanish, while some students take supplemental reading classes. Over 20 co- and extra-curricular programs including our GSA, Diplomats for Diversity, or Technology Club are offered.
