Summary:
The Camden Central School District in New York contains a single middle school, Camden Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some areas of strength, such as high proficiency rates in Regents exams, it generally underperforms the state averages in the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math.
Camden Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 855 out of 1500 middle schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars) to 1126 out of 1504 in 2023-2024 (1 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates in the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 8th-grade English Language Arts and Algebra I Regents exams. However, the school's proficiency rates in the Regents exams, such as Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences, were higher than the state averages.
The school's demographics and funding suggest that it may be facing some challenges. Camden Middle School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 50.9% in 2023-2024, and the school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $27,610, which is higher than the state average. Despite the significant resources allocated to the school, the inconsistent performance and the potential socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population suggest that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall academic outcomes.
