Summary

Cambridge Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 382 students in grades K-6 in the Penncrest School District in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania. According to the data, the school has been consistently ranked in the middle range of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Cambridge Springs Elementary outperforms the Penncrest School District and the state of Pennsylvania in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across most grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 4th grade. However, the school's 5th and 6th grade Math proficiency rates lag behind the district and state, indicating a potential area for improvement. The school also performs well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) and disabled student populations, ranking in the top 40% and top third of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively. Despite these strengths, the school's White student population ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, suggesting an opportunity to address achievement gaps.

Compared to other nearby schools, Saegertown Elementary in the Penncrest School District has a higher overall ranking and stronger performance in several academic areas. Schools outside the Penncrest District, such as McKean Elementary and Waterford Elementary, demonstrate even higher levels of academic achievement, suggesting that Cambridge Springs could learn from their best practices. Overall, Cambridge Springs Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance and support for its diverse student population, but there are opportunities to further enhance its outcomes.

Everything comes with positives and negatives, however this school has been atrocious. Look at their sub-par ratings. The teachers are more concerned with gossip and small town dynamics than learning. The scores received reflect this, not merely my opinions. Close Quote
