One of Cumberland High's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.0% to 98.6% over the past five years, which is notably better than nearby schools. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.0% over the same period, significantly better than the state average and nearby schools. However, Cumberland High has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2018-2019 to 16.7% in 2022-2023, which the school should address. The school's test scores in subjects like Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par or slightly below the state and district averages, but have shown some improvement in recent years, particularly in Mathematics.
Compared to nearby schools, Cumberland High generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of test scores and school rankings, but stands out with its higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.8% to 47.1% over the past three years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Cumberland High's spending per student has increased from $13,629 in 2018-2019 to $14,439 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the nearby schools, but it's unclear if this increased spending has directly translated to improved student outcomes.
