We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience in Camden High School is simply amazing. I've attended "CHS" for four years and I loved it. Everyone here is family and I honestly wouldn't change a thing.

Camden high school is a very good school but the only thing why parents think the teachers don't teach is because the students do not want to learn. These students in this school is very smart but they does not show it. Only if the students was less disruptive and start paying attention more than it...
