Best Public Schools in Cambridge, NE


Summary:

The city of Cambridge, Nebraska is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Cambridge Elementary School, Cambridge High School, and Cambridge Middle School. These schools are part of the Cambridge Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge High School stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Cambridge Middle School is ranked 42nd out of 200 Nebraska middle schools and earned a 4-star rating, consistently outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Cambridge High School is even more impressive, ranking 6th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a rare 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with 50-60% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in core subjects.

However, the district faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1% across all three schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.44% to 48.84%. While spending per student varies, with Cambridge High School spending the most at $27,638 per student, the district may need to ensure equitable distribution of resources to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve attendance rates.
