Summary

PS 68 Cambridge is an elementary school located in Ridgewood, NY, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 475 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, PS 68 Cambridge faces challenges, with proficiency rates in state assessments generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 41.51%, compared to 45.61% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade ELA and Science, where the proficiency rates are around 36-37%, significantly below the district and state averages. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students generally perform better than the overall student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as PS 91 Richard Arkwright, PS 81 Jean Paul Richter, and PS 239, PS 68 Cambridge generally underperforms, with these nearby schools having higher proficiency rates and better rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at PS 68 Cambridge, with around 70-82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Despite increased per-student spending, the school has not seen a commensurate improvement in academic results, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may need to be addressed to drive student success.
