Summary:
Cameron Independent School District (Isd) has one middle school, Cameron Middle, which serves grades 6-8. The school is located in a diverse area, with a student population that is 50.28% Hispanic, 28.65% White, and 17.98% African American. However, Cameron Middle is facing significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and rating over the past few years.
Academically, Cameron Middle's proficiency rates in core subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies are well below the state averages. For example, in 6th-grade math, only 4.23% of students are proficient, compared to the Texas average of 37.1%. The school's Algebra I proficiency rate is a bright spot, with 91.3% of students scoring proficient, significantly outperforming the district and state. However, this does not offset the broader academic struggles the school is experiencing.
The high percentage of students (72.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Cameron Middle serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, this alone does not seem to be enough to overcome the significant proficiency gaps. The Cameron Independent School District (Isd) and the school's leadership will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and address the academic performance issues at Cameron Middle.
