Cameron High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.76%) compared to the state and nearby schools like John Marshall High School and Wheeling Park High School. The school's academic performance on the West Virginia Assessments has been fluctuating, with some grades and subjects performing better than others.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.7% of 11th-grade students at Cameron High School were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 14.9% in the Marshall County Schools district and 17.9% statewide.

Cameron High School's performance on the West Virginia Assessments also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 105th out of 110 West Virginia high schools for female students and 107th out of 109 West Virginia high schools for male students in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 36.22% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2020-2021 school year. While the school has access to resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $17,834 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, these factors alone have not been sufficient to drive improved academic outcomes.

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.
