Camden High School Reviews
Rating 3.63 out of 5 19 reviews
The current Camden High School has a more modern building, but a big issue with lack of incentives and school bonding events and separation among the other three schools in the campus. Administration has previously focused too much on ineffective punishment, though that does seem to be changing. Curriculum is lacking in terms of exposure to new ideas and thought processes and the school environment is not stimulating for young minds.
This school is really nasty and the environment needs improving. I recommend not going to this school!!!
I am rather disappointed in CHS. The reason for this is one, CHS education system has plummeted. Their education tactics and teaching styles have not helped students now or in my knowing, the past three years. Our graduation rates have been low. Students don't know what they're doing or where they're going to go because they feel they aren't being taught correctly or the way they need to be. Our environment is disgusting and it makes me sick. The school is so unsanitary. It smells horrible and it is as if the school is home to the roaches. Eww! So finally, I really dislike CHS.
