The Burlington County Special Services School District was established in 1972 by the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders. At first the district served 30 disabled students, but grew within five years to accommodate 500 students from 40 sending school districts in the county. A newly constructed campus for the school was built in Westampton, starting use in January 1983. In 1990, the district opened a high school for at-risk students in Lumberton Township and a K-8 campus was opened the following year in Willingboro Township to help teach students how to overcome their disabilities.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of three schools, had an enrollment of 498 students and 109.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 4.6:1.
