Summary:

Cameron Elementary is a public elementary school serving 422 students in grades PK-4 in the Cameron School District in Cameron, Wisconsin. The school is highly rated, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year and ranking 284 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools.

One of the key factors that sets Cameron Elementary apart is its consistently strong academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all tested subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, 4th-grade students at Cameron Elementary had proficiency rates of 66.22% in ELA, 68.92% in Math, 72.97% in Social Studies, and 64.86% in Science, compared to the state averages of 53.42%, 55.05%, 62.96%, and 52.92%, respectively.

Another notable aspect of Cameron Elementary is its relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 42.42% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This is lower than the state average and several nearby schools, such as Ridgeland-Dallas Elementary (57.33%), Woodland Elementary (64.35%), and Tainter Elementary (51.56%). The school's ability to achieve strong academic outcomes despite having a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students is noteworthy.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
