Summary

Cameron Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 432 students in Cameron, Wisconsin, a small northwestern Wisconsin community near Barron and Rice Lake, and it is part of the Cameron School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 363rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), well above its district's 284th of 432 districts (34th percentile) — a sign the elementary school outperforms its broader district profile. After a low of 27th percentile in 2021–2022, it climbed to the 71st–73rd percentile in 2022–2024 before easing to 65th percentile.

Test scores are above Wisconsin averages in every reported subject and grade. Third-grade English language arts reached 70.42% versus the state's 52.08%, and fourth-grade science 62.30% versus 53.46% — the highest among nearby schools with 2025–2026 data, ahead of Cumberland Elementary, Haugen Elementary, and Woodland Elementary. Mathematics is more middle-of-the-pack: above the state (57.75% in 3rd grade, 55.74% in 4th grade) but behind several nearby schools. Against the two closest peers by enrollment, Cameron outscored Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Roselawn Elementary in most shared subjects and Tainter Elementary in every one.

The standout result is with low-income students: the Low Socio Economic Status subgroup ranked 97th of 848 schools statewide (89th percentile, 4 stars), and special education students ranked in the 69th percentile. Chronic absenteeism was 11.4% in 2024–2025 — far better than the state's 17.3%, but above the district's 9.1% and several neighbors, including Cumberland (3.5%) and Prairie Farm Elementary (5.4%). Cameron spent $14,110 per student, less than nearly every nearby school, with a higher-than-most student-teacher ratio of 12.7, yet its results stay near the top of the regional group.
