Best Bang for the Buck

In 2015, website NerdWallet ranked the Haddonfield district No. 1 on its list of “Best School Districts for Your Buck in New Jersey,” which makes not only staff and students proud but taxpayers, too.

NerdWallet’s number crunchers considered standardized test scores, indicators of college readiness, and average class sizes. They also looked at affordability metrics to filter out communities that are deemed prohibitively expensive.

 

Haddonfield was the only South Jersey district in the top 10. It also placed first in the top 10 for the percentage of graduates who enrolled in a four-year institution. NerdWallet cited the Haddonfield district’s high scores on standardized tests and mentioned the philanthropic spirit of its students.
