Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

This context is important when analyzing the school's performance and considering potential support or interventions. Overall, while Camden High School faces some academic and attendance-related challenges, the school's relative strength in English language arts instruction and its relatively high graduation rate indicate areas of potential strength that could be built upon to improve student outcomes.
