High Schools in Cambridge City

There is only one high school located in Cambridge City, Ohio - Cambridge High School. This school serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 535 students, with a predominantly White student population. While the school maintains a slightly above-average graduation rate, its academic performance on state tests is consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects, suggesting challenges in providing a high-quality education.

Cambridge High School faces several notable challenges. Its proficiency rates on state assessments range from 17.6% in Geometry to 60.2% in English II, compared to state averages ranging from 39.8% to 69.1%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.2%, significantly higher than the state average. These factors, coupled with the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.8%), indicate that the school is serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, Cambridge High School maintains a graduation rate of 93.4%, slightly above the state average. This suggests that the school may be effective in supporting students to complete their high school education, even if their academic proficiency levels are lower. Moving forward, the school could focus on addressing the low proficiency rates in core academic subjects, reducing chronic absenteeism, and exploring ways to provide additional support and resources to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to enhance their educational outcomes.
