Camden Middle School

Summary:

Camden Middle School is a public middle school in Camden, New York, serving 580 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Camden Central School District, which is ranked 664 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Camden Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.76%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the surrounding schools and the state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 18.63% (5th grade) to 48.35% (8th grade), well below the state averages of 45.09% to 55.2%. In math, the proficiency rates ranged from 25.49% (6th grade) to 40.32% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 48.07% to 51.94%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 505 out of 1,401 New York middle schools in 2013-2014 to 1,007 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, Camden Middle School's performance on state assessments is particularly low for female students, white students, and special education students, with rankings in the bottom half of New York middle schools for these subgroups. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $12,912 in 2019-2020 to $20,077 in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance has not improved. Comparing Camden Middle School to nearby schools, such as Chittenango Middle School and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Middle School, reveals that these schools generally outperform Camden Middle School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, suggesting that the district should examine the factors contributing to their success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
