Summary

Cameron Elementary in Cameron, TX, serves 308 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Cameron Independent School District (Isd), a rural area where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most critical story for this school is a dramatic and recent performance collapse. After ranking in the 50th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, it plummeted to the 13th percentile in 2025-2026—a steep decline not seen in nearby schools. This drop is universal, affecting every student subgroup, and is most severe in mathematics. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency fell to just 18.18%, far below the state average of 49.28%. In contrast, nearby schools like Milano Elementary (81st percentile) and Westphalia Elementary (87th percentile) have maintained consistently high performance, though they serve fewer economically disadvantaged students and spend more per pupil.

Despite the overall decline, there are notable bright spots. The school has a strong, consistent track record with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 74th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting effective programs for this group. Additionally, 5th-grade Science proficiency was above the state average in the same year. However, performance with At-Risk students has been volatile, swinging from the 87th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 25th percentile the following year. The school’s challenges appear systemic, as Ben Milam Elementary, the district’s other elementary school just 0.44 miles away, shares a similar socioeconomic profile and also struggles. Cameron Elementary is at a critical inflection point, needing to urgently investigate the root causes of its decline while leveraging its ELL success as a potential model for improvement.
