Summary:
Cameron, Wisconsin is home to a single elementary school: Cameron Elementary, part of the Cameron School District in Barron County. The school serves prekindergarten through fourth grade and enrolls about 432 students. Because there is only one elementary school in the city, there is no local comparison to make — but it compares very well against Wisconsin as a whole, beating the state proficiency rate in every subject and grade level reported for both 2024‑2025 and 2025‑2026.
Its strongest results are in English Language Arts, where third-grade proficiency reached 70.42% against a state figure of 52.08% — a gap of more than 18 points. Science is also a bright spot at 62.30% versus 53.46% statewide. Mathematics is the thinnest area: roughly 3 points above the state in both third and fourth grade, and third-grade math actually sits slightly below the district's own figure. Attendance is a genuine strength, with chronic absenteeism of 11.4% — about a third lower than the state's 17.3%, though somewhat higher than the district's 9.1%. About 36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending runs $14,110 per student, and the student–teacher ratio is 12.7.
Two watch items are worth knowing. First, the school's advantage over the state narrowed in four of six subjects, driven mainly by Social Studies and Science, where the state improved while the school's scores slipped. Second, its statewide rank fell from the 73rd to the 65th percentile over three years, and its star rating moved from 4 to 3 — even though raw proficiency held roughly steady, suggesting other schools improved faster. Note that the district carries a 2‑star, 34th‑percentile rating for the same year; that is a district-wide summary and does not describe this elementary school.
