Summary:
Cambridge, Wisconsin is served by four schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), and two high schools (grades 9–12 and 7–12) — all part of the Cambridge School District, with a combined enrollment of 907 students. The district as a whole ranks 115th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, but the individual schools vary quite a bit beneath that average.
Cambridge Elementary is the clear academic standout, with math, ELA, social studies, and science proficiency well above state levels — including 4th grade social studies at 87.27% and 3rd grade math at 82.69% — along with the lowest chronic absenteeism in the city at 8.1%, the lowest per-student spending ($16,286), the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.8), and an improving rank percentile. Cambridge High posts a 98.4% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and above-state scores in every reported subject, but chronic absenteeism is 19.0%, above both district and state, and its rank has slipped from 5 stars and the 90th percentile in 2023–2024 to 4 stars and the 78th percentile in 2025–2026.
Nikolay Middle is the most uneven: 8th grade math (69.64%), social studies (73.68%), and science (60.71%) beat state averages, while 6th and 7th grade ELA and 7th grade math fall below them. It also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (28.08%) and absenteeism of 18.3%. Koshkonong Trails School enrolls just 28 students, so most data are unavailable or suppressed and should not be read as zeros; its one reported score is below state, but it has low absenteeism (11.1%), the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (17.86%), a 0.0% dropout rate, and a 100% graduation rate in 2022–2023.
