Better than 15% of California elementary schools

Summary

Cameron Elementary serves 436 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Barstow, California, near schools in Barstow Unified and Silver Valley Unified. Its most important academic finding is that current ELA and math results are above the district averages but remain well below state averages: in 2025–2026, 26% of students were proficient in ELA and 20% in math, compared with 18% and 11% districtwide and 49% and 38% statewide.

Grade 4 is a relative strength, while grade 3 math is a concern. Cameron’s grade 4 proficiency was 32% in ELA and 27% in math; grade 3 results were 19% and 13%. Among the seven nearby Barstow Unified schools with results for both grades, Cameron ranked second in grade 4 ELA and math, but its grade 3 math result was second-lowest. Science is weaker in the latest year supplied: 3% were proficient in 2023–2024, versus 12% in the district and 31% statewide. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 45% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 48% but above the state’s 18%; only one nearby school had a higher rate.

Results have improved over the longer term, but the latest math decline is sharp: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 7 percentage points and math rose 6, while math fell 9 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger places Cameron at the 15th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026; it is second among the seven nearby Barstow schools, though its percentile fell 9 points from the previous year. Cameron also has the nearby group’s highest student–teacher ratio, 24.1:1 versus an average of 20.8:1. In 2024–2025, 90% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, the second-highest share among nearby schools with that measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic Students was at the 48th percentile, compared with 15th overall; its ranking for African American Students fell from the 31st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th in 2025–2026.
