Summary:
In zip code 93428, which serves the Cambria area, there is one elementary school, Cambria Grammar School, serving grades K-5 with 202 students in the Coast Unified district.
Cambria Grammar School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1 and spends significantly more per student than the state average. However, its academic performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking falling to the 26th percentile. While its math scores are slightly above the district average, its English and science scores are below both district and state averages, with science being a particular area of concern.
A notable strength is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6%, which is better than the district and state averages, indicating good student attendance. The school serves a population with high economic need, and its performance trends are similar to those of the wider Coast Unified district, which ranks in the 29th percentile statewide. The combination of high funding and lower academic outcomes suggests that resources may not be fully translating into improved student achievement in core subjects.
