Middle Schools in Cambridge Public Schools

Summary:

Cambridge Public Schools has only one middle school, Cambridge Middle School, which stands out as a high-performing institution within the district and the state of Nebraska. This small school of just 72 students consistently achieves impressive academic results, often exceeding state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

Cambridge Middle School's performance has improved significantly over the past few years, with its statewide ranking climbing from 166th out of 249 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 42nd out of 200 in 2023-2024. The school's 6th and 7th grade students, in particular, demonstrate exceptional proficiency in ELA and Math, while 8th graders excel in Science, with 75% scoring proficient or better, well above the state average of 64%.

This investment in staffing and resources appears to be paying off, as Cambridge Middle School continues to provide a quality education and support the learning and achievement of its diverse student population.
