The Oldmans Township School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Oldmans Township in Salem County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 341 students and 21.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.1:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest 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]

A majority of public school students in ninth through twelfth grades from Oldmans Township attend Penns Grove High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Penns Grove-Carneys Point Regional School District, with the balance attending Woodstown High School in the Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District, which also serves students from Alloway Township and Upper Pittsgrove Township.[4][5][6][7] As of the 2014-15 school year, Penns Grove High School had an enrollment of 592 students and 52.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.4:1,[8] while Woodstown High School had an enrollment of 684 students and 57.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.8:1.[9]

In 2016, the district commissioned a study by the Southern Regional Institute and Educational Technology Training Center at Stockton University to consider sending all students in grades 9-12 to Woodstown High School. The study concluded that Woodstown has the capacity to handle all of the students from Oldmans Township, but noted that the withdrawal from Penns Grove would results in a small decrease in the number of white students in that district's high school.[10]
