Cambridge High School

Summary:

Cambridge High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Milton, Georgia, part of the highly-ranked Fulton County School District. This exceptional school has consistently been among the top-performing high schools in the state, with a statewide ranking as high as 12 out of 420 schools in 2016-2017.

Cambridge High School's academic performance is truly exceptional, with proficiency rates on state assessments that far exceed the Fulton County and Georgia state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.3% of students were proficient in American Literature and Composition, compared to just 54% for the district and 42% for the state. The school's 4-year graduation rate has also been consistently above 97%, well above the state average. Additionally, Cambridge High School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively affluent student population.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Northview High School, Chattahoochee High School, and Milton High School, Cambridge High School still maintains a higher statewide ranking and stronger academic performance. The school's success is likely due to a combination of factors, including a highly qualified teaching staff, rigorous curriculum, and a personalized learning environment with a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

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.
