Summary

Cambridge Rindge and Latin is a public high school serving 1,979 students in grades 9-12 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The school is part of the Cambridge school district, which is ranked 81 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cambridge Rindge and Latin has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the years, ranging from 104 to 217 out of Massachusetts high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied from 2 to 4 stars. The school has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners, who have ranked in the top quartile of Massachusetts high schools. However, the school has struggled with lower rankings for Asian, African American, and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups. Despite these inconsistencies, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.5% to 94.2% and low dropout rates of 0.8% to 2.6%.

Compared to nearby schools, Boston Latin School and Full Circle High School, Cambridge Rindge and Latin stands out as a relatively high-performing institution, outperforming Boston Latin School in overall statewide ranking and test scores. However, it lags behind the top-performing nearby Community Charter School of Cambridge in several metrics like graduation rates and test scores. The school's higher level of funding, spending $32,729 per student in 2020-2021, may contribute to its strong academic performance and support services, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 9.0.
