Summary

Camden County High School in Kingsland, GA, is a large public high school serving 2,912 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the highly-rated Camden County district, which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide.

This school is a standout performer, especially when it comes to helping students finish high school. The graduation rate is an impressive 96.2%, which is a full 9 points above the state average, and the dropout rate is just 0.8%. Academically, students score dramatically higher than state averages on end-of-course tests—for example, 70.5% are proficient in Algebra I compared to 48.1% statewide, and Biology proficiency is 69.3% versus 47.2%. The school is particularly effective for students in Special Education, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for this group, and it also does exceptionally well with Hispanic students, who rank in the 94th percentile. This strong performance is achieved with efficient spending of about $11,417 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1.

The main challenge is not academics but attendance. Chronic absenteeism has more than doubled in recent years, jumping from 17.5% to 35.2%—a rate well above the state average of 17.7%. This is a critical issue because while the school achieves top-tier results for students who are in class, a growing number are missing significant school time. It is also worth noting that the school’s state ranking has slipped slightly from 39th to 41st, but this is not due to falling test scores—in fact, proficiency rates have increased. Instead, other schools are simply improving faster. Since Camden County High is the only traditional high school in its district, its successes and challenges are shared district-wide, making this a school with exceptional academic outcomes that is now focused on getting more students to show up every day.

Open Quote Adults are blinded by the school.This is one of those schools where they need to actually take advice from the students. Students get into fights often, and the factuality enforce absurd rules. It holds good courses and a good help program for students who are struggling, but there's too far a gap between gifted/honors level and regular level. A lot of students need a class between the two classes. The school encourages students to go to the local community college; a bad choice for students who wish to be doctors, vets, lawyers, etc... They need a strong 4 year school! Close Quote
