Summary

Cambridge High School is a public high school in Cambridge, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 472 students in the Cambridge City district, a mid-sized school in a small city in southeastern Ohio. It ranks 607th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (24th percentile, 1 star), slightly above its district’s 21st percentile rank but still in the bottom quarter of the state. The school peaked at 54th percentile in 2017–2018 and has remained in the bottom 30 percent since 2020–2021, though it improved slightly from 26th percentile last year.

Math is a severe weakness: Geometry proficiency was 23.3% and Algebra I was 25.3%, compared with state rates of 43.3% and 61.6%. American Government is a relative bright spot at 72% proficient, slightly above the state’s 71.6% and up from 58.6% the prior year. Other subjects lag: American History (65.1%), Biology (58.9%), and English II (58.9%) are all below state averages and generally at or near the bottom among nearby schools like Ridgewood High School, John Glenn High School, and Shenandoah High School. Chronic absenteeism is 31.5%, among the highest in the area, though down from 52.7% in 2021–2022. The graduation rate has risen to 96.6% from 81.4%, and the student–teacher ratio of 13.3 is better than most nearby comprehensive high schools.

Subgroup data shows Special Education students rank at the 40th percentile, better than the school overall, while Gifted and Talented students dropped from 89th percentile in 2020–2021 to 26th percentile in 2025–2026. Low-SES students rank at the 27th percentile. Poverty and spending do not fully explain the gaps: the school's free/reduced lunch rate (57.58%) is similar to Buckeye Trail High School (59.23%) and higher than Shenandoah High School (51.25%), yet both outperform the school in most tested subjects. Per-student spending was $8,970 in 2018–2019, less than some neighbors but more than John Glenn High School ($8,535), which performs much better. The most urgent priorities appear to be math achievement and attendance, while recent gains in graduation and Government suggest targeted interventions can produce results.
