Summary:

The 16 schools in Camden City School District include 10 elementary schools, one middle school and five high schools, serving students from early childhood through high school. Across reported Grades 3–8 results in 2025–2026, the average school-grade proficiency was 18% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 51% for the state, and 8% in math, compared with 43% statewide. The most important finding is that results vary sharply by school and grade, while the overall elementary and middle-school averages are well below state levels.

A few schools stand out in particular grades. Forest Hill School led reported Grade 3 ELA at 48%, nearly matching the state’s 48%; Dr. Henry H. Davis Elementary School led Grade 3 math at 49%, also close to the state’s 49%. Octavius V. Catto Community Family School led several Grades 4–6 ELA and Grades 4–7 math results, although its Grade 3 ELA was 16% and Grade 8 math was 0%. At the lower end, Henry B. Wilson Family School had 6% in Grade 3 ELA and 3% in Grade 3 math; Yorkship Elementary School had 3% in Grade 4 ELA and 0% in Grade 4 math. Among high schools, Creative Arts High School led reported Grade 11 NJGPA ELA at 67% and math at 49%; Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School had the highest graduation rate, 96%.

Recent changes are mixed: Davis Grade 6 ELA rose 22 points, from 8% to 30%, while Catto Grade 4 ELA fell 28 points, from 55% to 27%. Grade 11 NJGPA math also rose 24–26 points at Camden High School, Creative Arts and Brimm. SchoolDigger ranks the district 600th of 607, at the 1st percentile; its highest school percentile in this group is Creative Arts at the 21st. As context, the average free/reduced lunch eligible share was 55% in 2024–2025, ranging from 37% at Eastside High School to 74% at Riletta Twyne Cream Early Childhood Center; this measure does not explain school results. Year-to-year test comparisons are results for different student cohorts, not the progress of the same students.
