Pennsauken High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Pennsauken Township, Camden County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the lone secondary school of the Pennsauken Public Schools.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,427 students and 119.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1. There were 825 students (57.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 173 (12.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Students from Merchantville had attended the high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship that began in 1972, when the borough's high school was closed. In the wake of a 2015 decision by the New Jersey Department of Education, Merchantville students began attending Haddon Heights High School starting in the 2015-16 school year, as part of a transition that will be fully in place in the 2018-19 school year.
The school was the 298th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 310th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 298th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 290th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 292nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
