District-Level NCES Analysis
Camden County operates 12 public schools serving 9,523 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 combined, 2 middle, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Camden County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,637 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 219 Georgia districts by per-pupil spending. See how Georgia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 34.1% local, 53.3% state, and 12.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 29/100, ranked #179 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 485.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 21.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 56.1% White, 19.6% African American, 11.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is David L Rainer Elementary School, with a diversity index of 68.4/100.
Its largest campus is Camden County High School, enrolling 2,912 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Woodbine Elementary School, at 339 students, a 9x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Camden County High School accounts for 29.9% of all Camden County student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Camden County-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Camden County school enrollment varies 8.6× across entities
Camden County school enrollment ranges from 339 students (lowest) to 2,912 students (highest), a spread of 2,573 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Camden County student-counselor ratio is 485:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Camden County chronic absenteeism rate is 21.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Camden County is typically wider than the Camden County-aggregate figure suggests.
Camden County has 12 schools, including 1 high, 2 middle, 9 combined. Total enrollment is 9,523 students.
