Summary

Cambridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Cambridge Central School District in New York. The school has 389 students and is located in Cambridge, NY. While the school district is ranked 341 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Cambridge Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 38.6% in 3rd grade ELA, 29.63% in 4th grade ELA, and 45.61% in 3rd grade Math, all significantly below the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 59.7% respectively. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with its White students ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools in 2023-2024, and its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students ranking in the bottom 50% in recent years. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 931 out of 2,395 New York elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,574 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Dorothy Nolan Elementary School in the Saratoga Springs City School District, which outperforms Cambridge Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency rates, and Schuylerville Elementary School and Salem Elementary School, which also have higher academic achievement levels, Cambridge Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and supporting its diverse student population.
