Original Research by School Decision on Haddon Township High School
Haddon Township High School sits in Westmont, the downtown portion of Haddon Township in Camden County. It is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve and is part of the Haddon Township School District.
The student body numbers about what one would expect for a single high school in a mid-sized suburban township, with roughly equal enrollment across each grade. In terms of composition, the school is predominantly white, with a smaller but noticeable share of Hispanic students and modest representation from Asian, Black, and multiracial students. A relatively modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests a lower concentration of poverty than many high schools in the region. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not provided in the materials available for this profile.
What prospective families will not find here is state testing data or a reported graduation rate. Neither the school’s proficiency results across subjects nor its four-year graduation rate appear in the data set we worked from. That is an important gap for any parent evaluating academic performance and student outcomes. Without these figures, it is difficult to place Haddon Township High School against its peers or to gauge typical student achievement. A parent may want to contact the school directly for recent test scores, cohort graduation results, and information about advanced coursework such as Advanced Placement or dual-enrollment opportunities. No program offerings were listed in the profile either, so the full academic pathway is not clear from this account.
The community around the school shapes what a student’s daily life might look like. Westmont is an urbanized census-designated place that functions as the commercial and civic core of Haddon Township. Haddon Avenue runs through it as a main corridor, and the former Westmont Theater is a local landmark. The Westmont PATCO station, located in the downtown section, gives residents a direct rail connection into Philadelphia, making this a commuter-oriented area. Housing in the zip code carries a price tag well above the national median, and rents are similarly elevated. The local housing market shows active inventory and a number of pending sales, suggesting steady demand. Westmont first appeared as a separate census place in 2020, reflecting its growing identity. Vacancy is low, and the overall feel is of a built-up, walkable downtown environment within a larger township.
The Haddon Township School District itself appears to have been stable recently; a search for parent-relevant changes or developments turned up little of lasting impact.
For a family considering this school, the most straightforward takeaway is that the data provides a clear picture of the student body and the community but leaves academic performance largely unaddressed. The school is small enough to feel manageable, draws from a relatively low-poverty population, and sits in a commuter-friendly town with strong housing demand. Whether it offers a robust academic program, solid graduation rates, and strong postsecondary preparation are questions the available records do not answer. A direct conversation with the school would fill in those blanks.
