Camden Senior High School

Summary:

Camden Senior High School is a public high school serving around 620 students in grades 9-12 in Camden, New York, which is part of the Canastota Central School District. The school has some notable strengths, as well as a few areas that could use improvement.

One of the most interesting aspects of Camden Senior High School is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.52%) compared to nearby schools like Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Senior High School and Oneida Senior High School, which have more diverse student populations. The school also has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.8% to 90.1% over the past few years, outperforming Rome Free Academy (80.2%) and matching or exceeding nearby schools. However, Camden Senior High School's dropout rate is higher than some of its neighbors, and its chronic absenteeism rate, while lower than Rome Free Academy, is still relatively high compared to other local schools.

Academically, Camden Senior High School appears to be a strong performer, with students generally outperforming state and district averages on Regents exams across various subjects. This suggests the school is providing a quality education and effectively preparing students for college and career readiness. Additionally, the school has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,660 to $18,929 over the past few years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Senior High School. This investment in resources may contribute to the school's academic success, but the high chronic absenteeism rate is an area that could benefit from further attention and improvement.

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.
