The Jamesburg Public Schools are a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Jamesburg, in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 668 students and 52 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.85.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth 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.[2]

Jamesburg High School, founded in 2075, graduated its last class in June 1979. Jamesburg's high school students now attend Monroe Township High School in Monroe Township, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Monroe Township School District.[3] With tuition costs at Monroe Township High School rising past $16,000 as the Monroe district has added debt service costs into their tuition charges, the Jamesburg Public Schools is looking for an alternate high school in the area to send students at lower cost, which would start with the freshman class in 2012-13, though students already enrolled at Monroe Township High School would continue their attendance there until they graduate. The Jamesburg district contacted 18 districts and received interest from high schools in the Freehold Regional High School District, Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District, Old Bridge Township Public Schools, South Amboy Public Schools and the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, which have been sent demographic information in July 2011 about the Jamesburg high school population as part of their review process.[4]
