Summary:
The 13316 zip code area in New York is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Camden Central School District. While the high school, Camden Senior High School, consistently performs well and ranks in the top half of New York high schools, the middle and elementary schools in the district face challenges in academic achievement, lagging behind district and state averages in key areas.
Camden Senior High School stands out as a strong performer, with high proficiency rates on Regents exams and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Camden Middle School and Camden Elementary School struggle with English Language Arts and Math proficiency, suggesting a need for improvement in the lower grades. The district's high per-student spending and varying student-teacher ratios may be contributing factors to these performance disparities.
Addressing the chronic absenteeism rate at Camden Senior High School and ensuring equitable resource allocation across the district could help improve overall educational outcomes. By identifying and replicating the successful strategies used at the high school level, the district may be able to raise academic achievement at the middle and elementary school levels as well.
