Summary

Camden High School is a public high school serving 404 students in grades 9-12 in Camden, New Jersey, which is part of the Camden City School District. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in New Jersey.

Camden High School's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.7% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.9% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 54.5% and 91.3% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.0% to 10.2%, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Camden City School District, such as Eastside High School, Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School, and Camden Big Picture Learning Academy, also perform poorly on most metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Camden High School are systemic within the district. However, the nearby schools in other districts, such as Gloucester City High School, Haddon Township High School, and Collingswood High School, generally outperform Camden High School on these key metrics, indicating that the issues faced by the school may be specific to the Camden City School District.
