The Burlington County Special Services School District is a special education public school district headquartered in Westampton Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, whose schools offer educational and therapeutic services for students of elementary and high school age from across the county who have emotional of physical disabilities that cannot be addressed by their sending districts.

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 handicapped 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 Township, 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 to help teach students how to overcome their disabilities.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's three schools had an enrollment of 499 students and 128.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 3.90:1.

Schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are:

A group of emotionally and physically disabled students from the school district's marching band participated in the inaugural parade for President Bill Clinton. The band also marched in the parade in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the 1993 Miss America pageant.
