Cambridge Academy East

Summary:

Cambridge Academy East is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Queen Creek, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 86. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average across all grade levels.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance among specific student subgroups. In the 2022-2023 school year, Cambridge Academy East's Hispanic students ranked 193 out of 1,170 Arizona elementary schools in ELA, and its male students ranked 330 out of 1,216, both of which are above-average rankings. Additionally, the school has maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate for several years. However, the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of underperforming subgroups, such as female students, multi-racial students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, as it has struggled with lower rankings for these groups.

When compared to the nearby public elementary schools, such as Dr. Gary and Annette Auxier Elementary School, Jack Barnes Elementary School, and Frances Brandon-Pickett Elementary, Cambridge Academy East is significantly smaller in size but has shown strong academic performance in ELA. The nearby public schools, however, generally have a more racially diverse student population and higher spending per student, which may provide them with additional resources to support student learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
