Summary:
The Cameron Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Ben Milam Elementary and Cameron Elementary. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges, including lower-than-average test scores and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While the schools have some differences, such as Ben Milam Elementary having a higher percentage of Hispanic students and spending more per student, they both struggle to meet state academic standards. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR/Reading, STAAR/Mathematics, and 5th-grade science compared to the state average. This consistent underperformance suggests a need for improvement in the district's educational outcomes.
The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 75% at both schools, indicate that the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This, combined with the funding disparities between the two schools, may contribute to the lower academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that the elementary schools within the Cameron Independent School District (Isd) face significant challenges that will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the district.
