Overview
The Pitman School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Pitman, in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States.
As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprised of five schools, had an enrollment of 1,134 students and 118.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.5:1.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-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.
Reconfiguration
Due to a loss of state aid the Board of Education announced in April 2023 a reconfiguration plan for the school district. Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year the Pitman Schools will be organized so that Memorial School serves grades PreK-1, Pitman Elementary School (housed at the former Pitman Middle School) will cover grades 2-6 and Pitman Junior/Senior High School will house students in grades 7-12.:
