The Hammonton Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serve students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade from Hammonton, in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States.
Students from Folsom Borough (grades 9-12) and Waterford Township (7-12) attend the Hammonton schools as part of sending/receiving relationships with the Folsom Borough School District and the Waterford Township School District.[3][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.
