CAM Community School District

The CAM Community School District consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data analysis reveals that the CAM Junior/Senior High School stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest test scores, lowest student-teacher ratio, and highest spending per student. In contrast, the Iowa Connections Academy High School, Iowa Connections Academy Middle School, and Iowa Connections Academy Elementary schools generally have lower test scores compared to the CAM schools.

The CAM Elementary School also performs well, with test scores above the district and state averages in many subjects and grade levels. However, this school has the highest percentage of white students at 99.08%, making it the least diverse school in the district. The Iowa Connections Academy schools, on the other hand, have higher free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher percentage of students from low-income families.

The data suggests a clear disparity in academic performance between the Iowa Connections Academy schools and the CAM schools. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios indicate that the CAM schools may have access to more resources and smaller class sizes, which could contribute to their higher academic performance. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these differences could provide valuable insights for the district.
