Bridgeton Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade from the city of Bridgeton, in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States. The district is one of 31 former Abbott Districts statewide, which are now referred to as "SDA Districts" based on the requirement for the state to cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's eight schools had an enrollment of 4,990 students and 418.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.92:1.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest of eight groupings.
