Cameron El, Cameron TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Cameron El

Cameron Elementary serves upper elementary students in grades three through five in the town of Cameron, Texas. The school enrolls a small population of students, with each grade cohort numbering roughly in the range of ninety to over one hundred.

The student body is mixed in composition. More than half the enrollment is Hispanic, with substantial representation of white and Black students as well. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic strain across much of the household base served.

Academic performance is uneven across grade levels and subjects. In English language arts, the school shows relative strength in fifth grade, where a solid majority of students met proficiency standards. Third and fourth grades performed lower in ELA, though still with a foundation of students working at or above standard in grade three. Mathematics tells a different story: third and fourth graders showed very low proficiency rates, while fifth graders achieved substantially higher results. Science proficiency was modest, tested only in fifth grade. The school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among districts in Milam County, a modest but real positioning.

This profile suggests a school where upper elementary performance is most robust, particularly as students move into fifth grade. The lag in third and fourth grade mathematics warrants close attention from parents considering this school; a parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand how early numeracy is being supported and what happens when students move into the higher grades. The ELA strength in fifth grade and stronger performance overall in that grade band hints that the school's upper tier is finding better footing academically.

The housing market in the Cameron zip code is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks, with home values moderate and mortgage obligations manageable for households with reasonable income. Economic conditions in the region show steady employment and stable household incomes.

State testing data was available for math, ELA, and science; no multi-year trend was available to assess change over time. Participation rates were not provided in the assessment data, and special populations data such as English learner enrollment was not available.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
