Summary

Cambridge Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 738 students in the Travis Unified School District in Vacaville, offering a solid, consistent educational option with academic performance near state averages and a notable strength in science.

When compared to nearby schools, Cambridge stands out for its efficient use of resources and strong attendance record. It consistently outperforms its closest district peers like Center Elementary and Foxboro Elementary in core subjects, and its low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5% is better than most surrounding schools in Vacaville Unified, such as Hemlock Elementary and Eugene Padan Elementary. While not a top performer like Sierra Vista K-8, it achieves these results with moderate per-student spending, demonstrating good resource efficiency.

The school has shown impressive improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism, which correlates with better academic outcomes. However, performance varies significantly among different student groups, with some subgroups performing very well and others facing clear challenges. Overall, Cambridge Elementary provides a balanced and competitive choice for families, particularly within the Travis Unified district, characterized by reliable mid-tier performance, effective engagement strategies, and a reasonable student-teacher ratio.
