Cambridge Academy East

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Cambridge Academy East is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Queen Creek, Arizona, with a relatively small student population of 86. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state average across all grade levels.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance among specific student subgroups. In the 2022-2023 school year, Cambridge Academy East's Hispanic students ranked 193 out of 1,170 Arizona elementary schools in ELA, and its male students ranked 330 out of 1,216, both of which are above-average rankings. Additionally, the school has maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate for several years. However, the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of underperforming subgroups, such as female students, multi-racial students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, as it has struggled with lower rankings for these groups.

When compared to the nearby public elementary schools, such as Dr. Gary and Annette Auxier Elementary School, Jack Barnes Elementary School, and Frances Brandon-Pickett Elementary, Cambridge Academy East is significantly smaller in size but has shown strong academic performance in ELA. The nearby public schools, however, generally have a more racially diverse student population and higher spending per student, which may provide them with additional resources to support student learning.
