Cambridge High School

Summary:

Cambridge High School is a public high school serving 535 students in grades 9-12 in Cambridge, Ohio, which is part of the Cambridge City School District. While the school has seen some positive trends, such as improving graduation rates, it also faces several challenges that parents should be aware of.

Cambridge High School has a predominantly white student population, with 91.21% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Buffalo Campus. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.6% in Geometry to 60.2% in English II. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.2% in 2019-2020 to 36.2% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Buffalo Campus, which is part of the Mid-East Career and Technology Centers district, Cambridge High School has a higher student-teacher ratio (17.6 vs. 12.2) and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.8% vs. 52.12%). This suggests that the two schools may face different challenges and have different resource allocations. To improve student outcomes, Cambridge High School and the district should focus on addressing the academic and attendance-related issues, as well as exploring strategies to support underperforming student subgroups.

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.
