Summary

Cameron Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 363 students in the West Covina Unified School District, located in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

An analysis shows the school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages; for example, only about 34% of students are proficient in math compared to 71% at nearby Merced Elementary. Cameron's chronic absenteeism rate, while greatly improved, remains higher than most neighboring schools, and it ranks in the lowest percentile statewide for serving its special education students. However, the school demonstrates a notable strength, ranking in the top 5% of schools in California for effectively supporting students experiencing homelessness.

When compared to other schools in the area, Cameron's performance is lower than several schools with similar student demographics, suggesting factors beyond poverty are at play. The school's academic ranking has declined over the past decade, and there are concerning inconsistencies, with 5th-grade scores particularly low in math and science. While the school spends less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio than some neighbors like Wescove Elementary, targeted improvements in curriculum alignment and specialized support could help address these performance gaps.
