Summary

Camden Intermediate is a grades 3–5 school of 461 students in Camden County Schools, located in the town of Camden in northeastern North Carolina just south of the Virginia line. Sitting next door to Grandy Primary, its PK–2 feeder school, Camden Intermediate is the district's only tested campus for grades 3–5, so its state test results mirror the district's exactly. While the district ranks 23rd of 246 in North Carolina, the school's own ranking has slipped from the 92nd percentile in 2022–23 to the 66th percentile in 2025–26 — a drop from five stars to three.

The school's clearest strengths are early-elementary math and special education. Third-grade math proficiency hit 88% in 2025–26 — nearly 22 points above the state average and second among nearby schools only to Weeksville Elementary — while fourth-grade math at 69.3% outpaced both Moyock Elementary and Shawboro Elementary School. Special education students rank in the 84th percentile statewide, an unusually strong result for this subgroup, and chronic absenteeism is just 16.0% — far better than the state's 24.2% and most local schools; only Shawboro Elementary School, at 15.7%, posts a lower rate.

What gives families pause is the downward trend at Camden Intermediate. The school's advantage in math shrinks dramatically between 3rd and 5th grade: fifth-grade math (62.0%) now trails the state average (62.9%), and fifth-grade science (68.7%) has cooled to roughly the state average after hitting 85% in 2022–23. Reading has also become merely average, with fourth-grade reading at 57.2% versus 57.7% statewide, and gifted students rank in the 20th percentile — a notable weak spot for a school that performs well overall. With a low poverty rate (29.5% free or reduced-price lunch), strong attendance, and genuine strengths in early grades and special education, Camden Intermediate remains an above-average option — one worth watching to see whether it can reverse its recent slide and better challenge its advanced learners.
