The Audubon School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade from Audubon, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's three schools had an enrollment of 1,441 students and 117.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.25:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-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.[3]

Students from Audubon Park attend the district's schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship established after Audubon Park closed its lone school in 1979.[4] For grades 9-12, students from Mount Ephraim attend Audubon High School, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Mount Ephraim Public Schools.[5]
