Summary

Camden Middle School in Kingsland, GA, serves approximately 1,078 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Camden County School District, which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide. The school has maintained a solid 4-star rating for the past decade, with enrollment nearly identical to its nearby counterpart, Saint Marys Middle School.

The most striking strength at Camden Middle is its advanced math and science acceleration programs. In Algebra I End of Course assessments, the school achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026—nearly double the state average of 48.1%. Similarly, 95.3% of 8th graders taking High School Physical Science scored proficient, far exceeding the state's 60.9%. The school also showed remarkable growth in 8th grade science, jumping from 35.7% to 48.1% proficiency in one year. Camden Middle also earns high marks for specific student groups, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for Hispanic students and the 81st percentile for special education students—both notable strengths. The school invests more per student ($11,484) than Saint Marys Middle ($10,528) and maintains a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (14:1 vs. 15.3:1), suggesting additional resources are being directed toward its larger free/reduced lunch population (56% vs. 47.5%).

However, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism sits at 24.4%, well above the state average of 17.7%, and has remained stubbornly high over the past five years. Additionally, while Camden's 8th grade math improved dramatically from 41.1% to 58.5% over three years, it still trails Saint Marys Middle (60.5%), and the school consistently lags in 8th grade Social Studies (48.2% vs. 56%). There is also a gender gap, with male students ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide compared to females at the 68th percentile. Overall, Camden Middle offers exceptional acceleration opportunities in math and science, strong support for diverse learners, and a clear upward trajectory—though attendance and social studies remain areas for continued focus.

Open Quote Poor school, poor teaching. Camden needs to think about hiring teachers who at least know how to speak proper English. Last time I spoke with my daughter's teachers, I was absolutely horrified at the improper use of basic grammar skills. Camden county should be embarrassed by their lack of intelligent staff at Camden middle school. Close Quote
