Cameron County School District

The Cameron County School District in Pennsylvania consists of two schools - Woodland Elementary School and Cameron County Junior/Senior High School. The district serves a community with significant economic need, as evidenced by the very high free and reduced-price lunch rates at both schools.

Woodland Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently exceeding district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and science. The school's 4th grade students achieved 96.8% proficiency in PSSA Science, and over 50% proficiency in 3rd and 4th grade PSSA Math. In contrast, Cameron County Junior/Senior High School demonstrates strong performance on Keystone Exams, with high proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, as well as a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%.

Despite the economic challenges faced by the district, both schools maintain relatively small student-teacher ratios, with Woodland Elementary School at 14.8 and Cameron County Junior/Senior High School at 12.0. This suggests a focus on providing individualized attention and support to students. However, the higher spending per student at the high school level may indicate additional resource needs to address the significant economic challenges in the district.
