The New Hanover Township School District is a consolidated public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from New Hanover Township (including its Cookstown section) and Wrightstown, two communities in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States.[3]

As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprising one school, had an enrollment of 177 students and 23.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.5:1.[1] In the 2016-17 school year, the district had the 40th-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state.[4]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second lowest 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.[5]

For ninth through twelfth grades, students from both New Hanover Township and Wrightstown attend Bordentown Regional High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Bordentown Regional School District, a regional K-12 school district that serves students from Bordentown City, Bordentown Township and Fieldsboro Borough.[6][7][8][9] As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 770 students and 53.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.3:1.[10]
