The North Hanover Township School District is a comprehensive community public school district which serves children in pre-Kindergarten through sixth grades from North Hanover Township and from the McGuire Air Force Base unit of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. The district operates four elementary schools, with two located in Jacobstown and two on the grounds of McGuire Air Force Base.[3] It is the largest K-6 school district in Burlington County.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's four schools had an enrollment of 1,259 students and 112.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.24:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth-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.[4]

Public school students in seventh through twelfth grades attend the schools of the Northern Burlington County Regional School District, which also serves students from Chesterfield Township, Mansfield Township and Springfield Township, along with children of United States Air Force personnel based at McGuire Air Force Base.[5][6][7] The schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[8]) are Northern Burlington County Regional Middle School[9] for grades 7 and 8 (737 students) and Northern Burlington County Regional High School[10] for grades 9-12 (1,230 students).[11] Both schools are in the Columbus section of Mansfield Township. The district's 2013-14 budget included $35.6 million in spending which is allocated using a formula that reflects the population and the value of the assessed property in each of the constituent municipalities, under which taxpayers in North Hanover Township pay 14.2% of the district's tax levy.[12]
