Summary

CAM Academy is a standout public alternative school serving 510 students in grades 3-12 within the Battle Ground School District, known for its exceptionally strong academic performance that defies typical expectations for alternative education.

The school's test scores are its most remarkable feature, consistently and significantly outperforming both the district and state averages. For example, 77.24% of students are proficient in English Language Arts compared to 49.82% in the district, and similar large advantages are seen in math and science. This makes CAM Academy the clear academic leader among alternative schools in the area, far surpassing others in its own district like Battle Ground Virtual Academy and Homelink River. This high level of achievement is sustained across all grade levels and has remained consistent over several years.

What makes CAM Academy particularly interesting is that it achieves these excellent results with a higher student-to-teacher ratio and mid-range per-student spending compared to similar schools. While many nearby alternative schools, such as Vancouver Success Academy and Hollingsworth Academy, struggle with much lower performance, CAM Academy operates as a cost-effective model of success. It's important to note that while test score data is outstanding, public graduation rate information for the school was not available for this analysis.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

CAM prepared me for the outside world while providing a very safe environment. Because they focus on academics, I did really well in college, and because they promote good character, I feel confident to be myself in any situation. I know that I'll love the teachers and the friends I've made for the rest of my life. Close Quote
