Summary

CamdenFrontier K12 School is an alternative public school located in Camden, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 477 students. The school is part of the Camden-Frontier School district.

Despite facing challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to state averages, CamdenFrontier K12 School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.7% to 93.7% in recent years.
