Summary

Cameron Middle School in Framingham, MA, serves 592 students in grades 6–8 and is one of three middle schools in a district ranked 310th of 351 statewide. Cameron itself ranks 400th of 478 schools (16th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26. Its proficiency rates are 17.4% in English language arts, 17.9% in math, 16.1% in science, and 22.0% in civics, versus state rates of 40.0%, 41.1%, 41.0%, and 39.8%—roughly 40–45% of the state rate in every subject. After a peak of 36th percentile in 2020–21, it slid to 14th in 2024–25 before a marginal rebound to 16th.

Among 11 nearby comparison schools, Cameron ranks last, below Wellesley Middle (7th), Weston Middle (8th), Wayland Middle School (9th), Ephraim Curtis Middle (35th), J F Kennedy Middle School (50th), and Wilson Middle (59th). Its closest in-district peer, Fuller Middle, is 2.86 miles away with the same 592 students and ranks higher overall, beating Cameron in ELA (23.9% vs 17.4%), science (20.5% vs 16.1%), and civics (28.0% vs 22.0%); Cameron only edges ahead in math (17.9% vs 17.2%), with 8th-grade math at 24.1% vs Fuller’s 14.8%. Walsh Middle, the district’s higher-ranked benchmark, outperforms Cameron in every subject by 12–20 points. Spending does not explain the gap: Cameron spent $21,126 per student in 2020–21, more than Wilson Middle and J F Kennedy Middle School in Natick, yet Natick’s schools rank in the high 80s and low 90s. Cameron’s student–teacher ratio also worsened from 9.6 to 11.0 in two years, now worse than Fuller and Walsh.

Cameron’s strengths are narrow but real: 8th-grade math is at district parity, English language learner students improved to the 34th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, and there is no gender gap. Its vulnerabilities include 6th grade, 8th-grade science (16.1%, versus the Framingham district’s 24.7% and the state’s 38.9%), and low-income students, who have been at 0 stars for three straight years. Science is volatile—all-grades science was 29.9% in 2023–24, above the district’s 25.8%, then fell to 12.3% and recovered to 16.1%. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank, so poverty context is limited. Overall, Cameron is a 1-star school with modest recent stabilization but wide gaps to nearby schools.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, September 2, 2019

This School has ruined my daughter life. She was getting bullied for 3 years and the school said they did not consider it bullying. Her phone number was passed around the school and they called her fat and ugly almost everyday. The school called me one day to say she threaten to commit suicide i had to pick her up. My daughter ended up in wayside but the school still did not want to discuss the issues. My daughter has been un the day program 3 times and was admitted into the hospital for cutting herself. I ended up loosing my job and now almost my apartment. The fact that they have done nothing to help my child and they had no consequences really annoys me bc it going to keep happening to other kids. I called the superintendent and nothing still was done. Its to a point im really thinking about getting a lawyer. This school has ruined my child and my life Close Quote
