Cambridge City

Cambridge City is a small Ohio district with four schools serving about 1,716 students: two elementary schools covering grades K–2 and 3–5, one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12, with no alternative schools. The district as a whole ranks 612 of 773 statewide, in the 21st percentile with 1 star, and that district-level ranking appears in every school record, so it reflects the Cambridge City district's overall standing rather than any single school.

Cambridge Middle School is the only school in the current data earning 2 stars, ranking 713 of 1,046 in the 32nd percentile. It posts the area's most striking result: Algebra I End of Course at 100% proficient, far above the district's 37.2% and the state's 61.6%, plus 6th-grade Mathematics at 60.5% against the state's 56.2%. Cambridge Intermediate School is the bright spot in early math, with 3rd-grade Mathematics at 72.1% proficient versus the state's 62.1%, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.2%, below the district's 27.0%. Cambridge High School has a 96.6% graduation rate and American Government at 72% versus the state's 71.6%, but Geometry (23.3% vs. 43.3%) and Algebra I (25.3% vs. 61.6%) lag badly. Cambridge Primary School has no current test scores or ranking; its older history was stronger, reaching 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2015–2016.

Absenteeism runs from 21.2% at the intermediate school to 31.5% at the high school, with the middle and high schools above the district's 27.0%. Student-teacher ratios range from 12.8 at the middle school to 18.0 at the primary school, which also reports the lowest per-student spending ($6,779, from 2018–2019) against the high school's $8,970. Science is the clearest weakness: the middle school's 8th-grade Science sits at 21.2% versus the state's 61.2%. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so economic-disadvantage comparisons aren't possible.
