Some of America's most well known and renowned citizens are graduates of the Camden City Schools. Today, our K-12 school district numbers approximately 19,000 students attending 23 elementary schools, five middle schools, two traditional high schools, two magnet high schools and an alternative high school. Traditional college preparatory programs compliment all high schools. All district schools value the importance of community service and engage in community-oriented projects and programs throughout the school year. The district supports the education of the whole child.
Extracurricular activities serve to underscore the district commitment.
The Camden Board of Education is the policy-making body for the Camden City Schools. Our dedicated professional and educational support personnel are diligently working, through whole school reform models and other innovative projects and programs, to improve the performance of district students on state mandated tests and other performance measures. All effort is focused on student outcome and student achievement. With the help of the New Jersey Department of Education 's Special Assistance Task Force Unit, the district is working to improve all district operations.
