CAM Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

CAM Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Anita, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 143 students. The school is part of the CAM Community School District, which is ranked 273 out of 309 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

CAM Junior/Senior High School generally performs better than the district average and the state average in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 10th-grade students scored 75% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 66.3% and the state's 73.8%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 11.1 over the past three school years. However, the school's spending per student, at $14,388 for the 2018-2019 school year, is higher than the state average and some nearby schools, such as Iowa Connections Academy High School ($8,486).

While CAM Junior/Senior High School performs better than the district average in many areas, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Audubon Middle-High School, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state. The school's small enrollment of 143 students, compared to larger nearby schools like Atlantic High School (485 students), may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation, personalized attention, and extracurricular offerings. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting the need for ongoing improvement efforts to ensure the school's long-term success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
