Cambridge City

The Cambridge City school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district, with some standout schools and notable challenges.

Cambridge High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, but still maintains a respectable 93.4% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. In contrast, Cambridge Middle School stands out, with an impressive 90.9% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, far exceeding the district and state averages. Cambridge Primary School also shines, with a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including relatively low test scores compared to state averages and high rates of chronic absenteeism across all schools. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.8% to 55.01%, suggests that the district grapples with socioeconomic factors that may contribute to these academic challenges. By addressing these issues and building on the strengths of standout schools like Cambridge Middle School, the Cambridge City school district can work to improve educational outcomes for all its students.
