Public school students in seventh through twelfth grades are educated by the Kingsway Regional School District, which also serves students from South Harrison Township, Swedesboro and Woolwich Township, with the addition of students 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.[6][7] As of the 2020–21 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 2,544 students and 189.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.4:1.[8] Schools in the district (with 2020–21 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[9]) are Kingsway Regional Middle School[10] with 1,023 students in grades 7-8 and Kingsway Regional High School[11] with 1,802 students in grades 9-12.[12][13] Under a 2011 proposal, Kingsway would merge 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.[14]
