Summary:
There is one middle school, Cameron Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the city of Cameron, Texas, which is part of the Cameron Independent School District (Isd) and has a total enrollment of 305 students.
Cameron Middle shows a mixed academic profile. The school's standout strength is in advanced math, with 80% of students proficient in Algebra I in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding state averages. However, this success does not carry over to grade-level math; 7th-grade math proficiency was only 9.09%, and 8th-grade social studies was alarmingly low at 10.2%, both well below state benchmarks. Reading scores are closer to the state average, with 6th graders even slightly outperforming it. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3 and a 0% dropout rate, but overall state ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 39th percentile to the 13th, then recovering to the 21st percentile. A high percentage of students (68.2%) are economically disadvantaged.
Key takeaways for parents include a clear divide in subject performance: the school excels in advanced math for a select group but struggles significantly with standard math and social studies for the majority of students. The strong Algebra I results suggest a targeted program for high achievers, while the low 7th-grade math and 8th-grade social studies scores indicate systemic challenges that need attention. Despite adequate resources like small class sizes and moderate spending per student ($8,788), overall academic outcomes are generally low compared to state averages, pointing to potential issues with curriculum or instructional strategies rather than funding alone.
