Understanding the 10/10 Rating
Camden County School District has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 10/10, placing it in the top-tier tier. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2017–18 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Georgia is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Camden County School District ranks among the highest-performing public school districts in Georgia on state assessments, with reading and math proficiency rates in roughly the top 10–20% statewide. Homes in and around zip code 31548 often carry a measurable premium relative to neighboring areas served by lower-rated districts. Families moving here for academic strength will find a district whose students test well above the state norm. Even within top-rated districts, individual school performance varies — confirm your specific school assignments directly with the district.
