Cambridge Elementary Magnet School

Summary:

Cambridge Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Cocoa, Florida, serving 495 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in Florida and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Cambridge Elementary Magnet School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Fairglen Elementary School and Tropical Elementary School, it underperforms academically. The school has lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 22% to 45% in English Language Arts and Math, compared to the Brevard District and Florida state averages of 53% to 67%. Additionally, Cambridge Elementary Magnet School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Despite the school's higher spending per student of $10,957, which is more than nearby schools like Lewis Carroll Elementary School and Golfview Elementary Magnet School, its performance has been declining over the years. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes at Cambridge Elementary Magnet School.

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.
