Summary

Cameron Elementary School is a small, tight-knit school in Cameron, WV, serving 236 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Marshall County Schools district. This school has one of the most impressive turnaround stories in the state, climbing from the bottom 10% of West Virginia elementary schools just seven years ago to now ranking in the top half statewide (55th percentile).

The most remarkable highlight is the school's exceptional work with special education students, where it now ranks 12th out of 158 schools statewide—a stunning 92nd percentile performance that places it among the very best in West Virginia for this subgroup. Fifth graders are also thriving, with 75.9% proficiency in English Language Arts (compared to 51% statewide) and 58.6% in math (vs. 44% statewide). These scores even surpass nearby highly-rated Elm Grove Elementary School and Middle Creek Elementary School in Ohio County Schools. The school also shows strong results for students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide.

However, there are some areas to watch. Fourth grade scores dip significantly—just 32.5% proficiency in ELA versus 49.6% statewide—creating a "valley" between strong 3rd and 5th grade years. Science scores have also been volatile, swinging dramatically from 36% to 9% to 45% proficiency over three years. With a favorable 12.3:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $13,694, the school has solid resources. While it trails county leader Glen Dale Elementary School (75th percentile), Cameron's consistent year-over-year improvement and standout special education program make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that's clearly on an upward trajectory.
