Summary

Camerado Springs Middle is a public school serving 536 students in grades 6-8 in Cameron Park, part of the high-performing Buckeye Union Elementary district, which is ranked in the top 10% statewide.

The school consistently earns a 4-star rating, with academic performance that is solidly above California averages in English (65% proficient), Math (58%), and particularly Science (59%). It shows notable strengths in supporting male students, special education students, and those from low-income families. However, within its immediate area, Camerado Springs finds itself in a competitive position, as it is surrounded by several 5-star schools like Rolling Hills Middle and Willma Cavitt Junior High that outperform it, especially in mathematics.

Key areas of progress include a significant drop in chronic absenteeism, though its rate is still higher than many nearby peers. The school also shows interesting grade-level patterns, with 7th graders performing very strongly and 6th graders showing room for growth, suggesting a focus on the transition to middle school. Compared to a similarly profiled school like Pleasant Grove Middle just a few miles away, Camerado Springs achieves stronger academic results, indicating effective practices for its student community.
