Summary

Cameron Middle serves 305 students in grades 6-8 within the Cameron Independent School District (Isd) in Cameron, TX, a community where over 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 9% of 7th graders and 27% of 8th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 29% and 47%, respectively. These scores are the lowest among nearby schools like Rockdale J H and Milano J H. Social studies is another area of concern, with just 10% of 8th graders proficient versus the state average of 32%. The school's overall ranking has dropped sharply from the 73rd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026, placing it behind all comparable schools in the region.

Despite these struggles, there are notable bright spots. The school excels with its Algebra I program, achieving 80% proficiency in 2025-2026, suggesting strong support for advanced students. Additionally, Cameron Middle earns high marks for its special education services, ranking in the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026—the highest rating for any subgroup that year. This stands in contrast to the school's overall performance and indicates effective support for students with special needs. When compared to Rockdale J H, which serves a similar student population just 15 miles away, the gap in math and social studies proficiency suggests that school-specific strategies, rather than demographics alone, play a key role in outcomes.
