Summary

Cambridge Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Cambridge, Ohio, with 402 students enrolled. The school is part of the Cambridge City School District, which is ranked 581 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cambridge Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, with academic performance generally below the state average across subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 30-45.9%, compared to the state average of 47.6-51.9%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.4% to 32.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, over 55% of students at Cambridge Middle School are from low-socioeconomic status families, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rate.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Ridgewood Middle School and East Muskingum Middle School, which are ranked in the top half of Ohio middle schools and have higher proficiency rates on state tests, Cambridge Middle School's performance is generally lower. However, the school's 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam suggests that it is able to provide effective support for some of its high-performing students in mathematics.
