Summary:
The Camden Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Camden Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. Based on the available data, Camden Middle School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 1126 out of 1504 New York middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance on state assessments is consistently below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.96% to 47.06% in English Language Arts and 25.56% to 44.3% in Math. However, the school's performance on Regents exams is stronger, with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and Algebra I. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $20,077 per student, these academic outcomes suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more significant drivers of student success.
The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 47.59% in the 2022-2023 school year indicates that the school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance. While the data does not suggest any correlation between the school's demographics and its performance, the challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds are well-documented and may be an area of focus for the district's improvement efforts.
