Summary

Camden Middle is a public middle school located in Camden, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 441 students. The school is part of the Camden County Schools district, which is ranked 38 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Camden Middle consistently ranks in the top 20-30% of North Carolina middle schools, with a current ranking of 154 out of 773 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in 8th grade Math (63.2%), 8th grade Reading (67.3%), and 8th grade Science (88.9%) well above the state averages. Additionally, Camden Middle's performance is particularly strong for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and Hispanic students, where the school ranks in the top 5-20% of North Carolina middle schools.

One potential factor contributing to Camden Middle's success is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 14.0 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools like Perquimans County Middle and Currituck County Middle. Additionally, Camden Middle spends $11,655 per student, which is higher than the spending levels of the nearby schools. While the nearby schools also perform reasonably well and are rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, they have a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present additional challenges in terms of student support and resources.
