Camden City School District is a public school district that serves students in pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade from the city of Camden, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. The district is one of 31 former Abbott districts statewide, which are now referred to as "SDA Districts" based on the requirement for the state to cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority. In 2013, after years of requests from local officials, New Jersey intervened in Camden City, making the School District state-run under the leadership of Superintendent Paymon Rouhanifard.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the district's 22 schools had an enrollment of 11,660 students and 1,091.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.7:1.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
In 2014-15, Camden students who took the state PARCC test for the first time scored far below other cities in New Jersey, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. About 6 percent of district students in grades three through eight are proficient in language arts, with about 4 percent testing proficient in math.
Just 5 to 8 percent of high school students tested at close to the statewide proficiency rate in language arts. For math, that number was 1 to 3 percent of high school students.
