District-Level NCES Analysis

Cameron School District operates 5 public schools serving 1,151 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 2 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,202 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Barron County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,019 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 43.3% local, 46.8% state, and 9.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $73,064 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 27/100, ranked #336 of 403 in Wisconsin against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 343.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.1% White, 3.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools.

Cameron Elementary accounts for 35.9% of all Cameron School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cameron School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
