This school is the best! The teachers are warm, understanding people as well as being excellent educators. I disagree completely with a previous review. Obviously that parent didn't get involved with the school enough to see what a quality education his/her child was receiving. The evidence is in the testing-Camden Elementary was the cream of the crop! I highly recommend being a part of the PTO process.

While I feel that the staff is friendly and treats the children well, I find them sadly lacking in the teaching department. It is nearing the 2nd semester of my daughters [school] year and her class hasn't studied any Science or Social Studies. The Art class is a joke. They haven't learned anything about perspective or shading, etc. It's just a free-for-all. I'm very disappointed in the system and I'm not the only one. Our children don't seem to be learning anything-not because they're stupid, but because they aren't being taught.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
