The Winslow Township School District is an comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade from Winslow Township, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. The district operates four elementary schools (grades Pre-K - 3), two upper elementary schools (grades 4 - 6), one middle school (grades 7 - 8), and one high school (grades 9 - 12). As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's eight schools had an enrollment of 4,932 students and 435.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.33:1.〔(District information for Winslow Township School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed November 2, 2014.〕 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.〔(NJ Department of Education District Factor Groups (DFG) for School Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed November 2, 2014.〕 Students from Chesilhurst attend the district's schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Chesilhurst Borough School District. The Chesilhurst district had served public school students in Kindergarten through sixth grade at Shirley B. Foster Elementary School until the completion of the 2008-09 school year, after which the district was no longer operating any schools and began sending all of its students to the Winslow Township schools as part of an expansion of the pre-existing sending/receiving relationship that commenced in the 2009-10 school year.〔Osborne, James. ("N.J. to investigate Chesilhurst school district" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', June 12, 2010. Accessed November 2, 2014. "Up until last year, Chesilhurst functioned as a traditional school district and maintained a single elementary school. In the spring of 2009, the school board voted to close that school and bus its students to Winslow, leaving Chesilhurst to operate in an administrative capacity with a skeleton staff. Chesilhurst, a small district on the edge of the Pinelands, subsequently was declared a non-operating district by the state and set for closure at the end of June 2010."〕〔(Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 ), Chesilhurst Board of Education. Accessed November 2, 2014. "Up through the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the District provided a full range of educational services appropriate to grade levels Pre-K through 6.... Beginning in the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the District entered into a sending/receiving tuition arrangement with Winslow Township Board of Education which included all students."〕 ==History== The district was formed in 1998, after voters approved a split from the Lower Camden County Regional School District, creating the Edgewood (later renamed Winslow) middle and high schools in 2001 to accompany the previously existing K-6 operation.〔Arnold, Stephanie L. ("Getting Down To Work On Schools In Winslow, Site Preparation Is One Step Toward Expansions And Renovations." ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', August 8, 1999. Accessed November 2, 2014. "DeLosso said the target date for completion of the project was September 2001. That also is the year when the Lower Camden County Regional School District is scheduled to disband. Its seven towns - Berlin Township, Chesilhurst, Clementon, Lindenwold, Pine Hill, Waterford and Winslow - will become responsible for educating their own students."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winslow Township School District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
