History
The Camden County Schools system was really a small system with only three schools (one each of elementary, middle, and high schools) as late as 2006. By 2008, however, the system had added a new high school and an intermediate elementary school.
Student demographics
For the 2013–2014 school year, Camden County Schools had a total population of 1,903 students and 126.09 teachers on a (FTE) basis. This produced a student-teacher ratio of 15.17:1. For the 2010-2011 school year, out of the student total, the gender ratio was 50% male to 40% female. The demographic group makeup was: White, 79%; Black, 13%; Hispanic, 3%; American Indian, 0%; and Asian/Pacific Islander, 1% (two or more races: 3%). For the same school year, 31.22% of the students received free and reduced-cost lunches.
Governance
The primary governing body of Camden County Schools follows a council–manager government format with a five-member Board of Education appointing a Superintendent to run the day-to-day operations of the system.
