Summary:

The Cambridge-Isanti Public School District in Minnesota operates 16 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district's academic performance is mixed, with some schools, like Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge-Isanti STEAM School, consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others, such as Isanti Intermediate School and Riverside Academy, struggle with lower proficiency rates.

The district's overall math and reading proficiency rates are below the state averages, but the data reveals significant disparities between individual schools. Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge-Isanti STEAM School stand out as the top-performing schools, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state. In contrast, Isanti Intermediate School and Riverside Academy have the lowest proficiency rates in the district.

The district's alternative schools, such as Riverside Academy and Brookside Academy, face unique challenges in serving at-risk students, as evidenced by their lower academic performance and higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Identifying and addressing the specific needs of these schools could help improve overall student outcomes in the Cambridge-Isanti Public School District.
