Summary:

Cambridge has 16 public schools serving about 6,812 students: 11 elementary schools (3,566 students), four middle schools (1,174), and one high school, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, which alone enrolls 2,072 students. The Cambridge district is rated 71st of 351 districts in Massachusetts, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars, and in 2025–2026 its averages beat the state in ELA (59.47% vs. 40.03%), math (57.29% vs. 41.11%), and science (51.03% vs. 40.98%).

Several schools stand out. Maria L. Baldwin has ranked in the 99th percentile for three straight years with 5 stars, posting all-grades ELA of 78.75%, math 83.13%, and science 74.47%. John M Tobin is another steady 5-star performer, and Amigos School ranks in the 85th–90th percentile. Among middle schools, Rindge Avenue Upper School leads at the 89th percentile, with math at 69.85%. Cambridge Rindge and Latin improved from the 59th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 78th in 2025–2026, with a 94.2% graduation rate. Cambridge Street Upper School and Fletcher/Maynard Academy showed the biggest year-over-year gains.

Performance varies widely within Cambridge. Baldwin's ELA (78.75%) is 39.39 points above Fletcher/Maynard's (39.36%). Middle-school math averages 54.73%, below middle-school ELA (59.77%) and the district math average. Spending does not neatly predict results: Fletcher/Maynard has the highest per-student spending ($40,576) but the lowest ELA, while Amigos has the lowest ($29,062) yet strong scores. Student-teacher ratios range from 7.0 at Darby Vassall Upper School to 11.2 at Peabody. Free/reduced-lunch data are blank for every school, so income cannot be compared here.
