Summary

Cambridge High is a very small public high school serving just 48 students in grades 9-12 within the Coalinga-Huron Unified district, which faces significant challenges across all its schools.

The school faces profound difficulties with student engagement and academic performance, highlighted by an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 80.9% and very low proficiency rates, including 0% in both math and science for the 2024-2025 year. Its outcomes are notably more volatile and lower than those at the larger comprehensive Coalinga High in the same district, which has higher proficiency and lower absenteeism. Cambridge High also spends significantly less per student than similar continuation schools in the region, such as Chesnut High (Continuation).

While the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, allowing for small class sizes, it has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade. Performance data shows particular struggles for female students and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Compared to other area schools like Avenal High in the neighboring Reef-Sunset Unified district, Cambridge High's academic metrics are considerably lower, indicating it serves a high-needs population within an already struggling educational context.
