Summary

Cambridge Elementary Magnet School in Cocoa, FL, serves 477 students from Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Brevard school district, with 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

While Cambridge Elementary is a magnet school, its overall academic performance is low, currently holding a 1-star rating and ranking in the 21st percentile statewide. This places it in stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools like Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School (98th percentile, 5-star) and Lewis Carroll Elementary School (77th percentile, 4-star). However, the school has a unique and consistent strength: in 5th-grade Science, 67% of students were proficient, exceeding both the district and state averages for four consecutive years. This is a bright spot that stands out given the school's struggles in other subjects.

Cambridge faces significant challenges in early literacy and math, with only 33% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 27% in Math—well below district averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7%, which is higher than the district average and much higher than top-performing schools like Robert L. Stevenson (6.3%). On a positive note, there is a clear trend of improvement as students progress to upper grades, with 6th-grade proficiency rates (ELA: 54%, Math: 61%) significantly higher than 3rd-grade rates. This suggests the school may be effective at accelerating learning for students who have mastered basic skills. Interestingly, Cambridge spends more per student ($13,731) than the district average and more than high-performing Robert L. Stevenson ($10,717), indicating that funding alone is not the primary driver of outcomes.
