Summary

Cameron Middle is a grades 5–8 school with 319 students in Cameron, Wisconsin, a small community in the northwest part of the state, and it is part of the Cameron School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 209th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — 67th percentile, 3 stars — a slight step down from 4 stars and the 75th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 79th percentile in 2023–2024.

Grades 5 through 7 are the clear strength. Seventh graders scored 78.95% proficient in English language arts and 77.19% in math, the highest in the area, and the school's overall core ELA/math average of 67.7 is the best among nearby middle schools. Two smaller neighbors, Prairie Farm Middle (73 students) and Turtle Lake Middle (96 students), rank higher overall mainly because of exceptional 8th grade science and social studies scores, while Cameron also outperforms the larger Rice Lake Middle in most core subjects. Attendance is excellent: chronic absenteeism was 5.7% in 2024–2025, down from 33.9% in 2020–2021 and well below the district (9.1%) and state (17.3%). The dropout rate is 0.0%. Cameron achieves this with the lowest per-pupil spending ($12,327) and the highest student-teacher ratio (14.5) among nearby schools.

The main academic weak spot is 8th grade: science proficiency was 43.33% and social studies 60%, both below the state (51.86% and 64.63%), and lower than Cumberland Middle in social studies. The school also saw sharp drops for some student groups in 2025–2026 — students from low-income families fell from the 85th percentile two years earlier to the 38th, and special education students from the 79th to the 39th. Part of the overall dip reflects a weaker 8th grade class replacing an unusually strong one; that cohort actually improved as 8th graders. Families should watch whether the science and social studies gap and subgroup declines are addressed.
