Schools in Zip Code 54822

ZIP code 54822 covers Cameron, Wisconsin, where five public schools—all part of the Cameron School District—serve roughly 1,202 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The largest is Cameron Elementary (PK–4, 432 students), followed by Cameron Middle (5–8, 319), Cameron High (9–12, 279), Cameron Academy of Virtual Education (alternative PK–12, 134), and North Star Academy (9–12, 38). The district as a whole ranks 284 of 432 Wisconsin districts, in the 34th percentile with 2 stars.

Academically, the district splits between its elementary and middle schools and its high school and alternative settings. Cameron Middle is the standout, ranking in the 67th percentile with 3 stars, with 5th–8th grade ELA and math proficiency mostly above state averages and chronic absenteeism of only 5.7%. Cameron Elementary also performs well (65th percentile, 3 stars), with 3rd-grade ELA at 70.42% and 4th-grade science at 62.30% against 53.46% statewide. Cameron High ranks in the 35th percentile with 2 stars; its ACT science proficiency is 26.56% versus 43.20% statewide, though it reports a 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate. Cameron Academy of Virtual Education and North Star Academy have no rank in this data; the academy's ACT math proficiency is 8.33% against 42.93% statewide.

Several patterns matter for families. Chronic absenteeism is a district strength at 9.1%, about half the state's 17.3%, with Cameron High highest among traditional schools at 14.4%. Graduation and dropout outcomes differ sharply by setting: the virtual academy reports a 68.9% graduation rate and 8.5% dropout rate, while North Star Academy reports 77.7% and 15.3%—well above the district's 1.8%. Staffing also varies: traditional schools run 12.7:1 to 14.5:1, compared with 21.6:1 and 27.1:1 at the two alternative schools, and North Star reports $4,242 in per-student spending. Very small cohorts make some results swing widely from year to year, so those figures should be read cautiously.
