The Kingsway Regional School District is a regional public school district serving students from five communities in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The district serves students in seventh through twelfth grades from East Greenwich Township, South Harrison Township, Swedesboro and Woolwich Township.[3] Students in ninth through twelfth grades from Logan Township who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship in which tuition is paid on a per-pupil basis by the Logan Township School District.[4][5][6]
As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 2,962 students and 208.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.2:1.[1]
The Kingsway Regional School District is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-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.[7]
Designed with 40 classrooms built to accommodate an enrollment of 1,100 and constructed at a cost of $1.75 million on a site covering 65 acres (26 ha), the school opened in September 1963 for an initial enrollment of 675 students in grades 7-12, including students in grades 9-12 who had previously attended Swedesboro High School, which ended operations after 40 years.[8][9] Prior to the school's opening, students had attended either Sweedesboro High School or Woodstown High School.[10]
Under a 2011 proposal, Kingsway would have merged with its constituent member's K-6 districts to become a full K-12 district, with various options for including Logan Township as part of the consolidated district.[11]
