[edit] Criticism

In the 2000s, the Camden school system was labelled as corrupt by some individuals; a July 6, 2006 editorial [2] written by Sherry Wolkoff appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The editorial, titled "Children of Camden get short end of the pencil," asserts that Camden school officials obtain unjustified bonuses while Camden schoolchildren have few resources.

In early 2006, allegations were also made that school officials had altered standardized test scores to improve Camden's national school ratings. These accusations have neither been confirmed nor denied.[citation needed]
