Summary

Camden Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Camden Central School District in Camden, New York. The school has 558 students and is ranked 855 out of 1500 New York middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Camden Central School District as a whole is ranked 723 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating.

Camden Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math ranging from 35-55% compared to the state averages of 50-57%. However, the school performs better in certain areas, such as 8th grade ELA and Regents exams like Algebra I and Earth and Space Sciences. The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $14,196 in 2020-2021 to $27,610 in 2023-2024, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Despite these investments, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 855 and 1126 over the past few years.

Nearby schools, such as Chittenango Middle School, Roberts Street Middle School, and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Middle School, generally outperform Camden Middle School on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings. These schools have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as stronger performance on Regents exams. The nearby schools also tend to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could suggest that Camden Middle School is serving a more economically disadvantaged student population.
