Summary

Cambridge High School in Milton, GA, is a top-performing public high school serving 1,602 students in grades 9-12 within the Fulton County district. Ranked 31st out of 455 Georgia high schools (93rd percentile) with a 5-star rating, Cambridge has never fallen below the 85th percentile statewide over the past decade, and it recently rebounded from a temporary dip to 67th place in 2023-2024 back into the top 40.

Cambridge stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 97.4%—well above the district (91.9%) and state (87.2%) averages—and a dropout rate of just 1.0%. The school also excels in science: 75.8% of students scored proficient or above in Biology, a 28.6-point advantage over the state average and a rate that beats several higher-ranked schools like South Forsyth High School (ranked 11th) and Northview High School (ranked 12th). Notably, Cambridge ranks in the top 7% statewide for special education students and the top 6% for African American students, showing strong results for historically underserved groups. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 27.9% in 2021-2022 to 16.4%—now below both district and state averages.

However, there are areas to watch. Algebra I proficiency has been volatile, swinging from 35.1% in 2023-2024 to 70.1% in 2025-2026, a pattern that may reflect changes in course placement or testing cohorts. U.S. History proficiency (57.7%) lags behind peers like Alpharetta High School (67.5%) and Chattahoochee High School (66.5%). Cambridge also sits in a highly competitive area, with Innovation Academy (ranked 6th) nearby boasting a 99.8% graduation rate and just 1.5% chronic absenteeism. At $15,530 per student, Cambridge spends moderately less than Centennial High School ($17,335) while achieving far better outcomes, suggesting solid efficiency. Overall, Cambridge is a strong, equitable choice for families, with particular strengths in science and graduation success.
