Cambridge Intermediate School

Summary:

Cambridge Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 405 students in grades 3-5 in Cambridge, Ohio, which is part of the Cambridge City School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and its performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years. Cambridge Intermediate School also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.6% to 33.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Cambridge Intermediate School's student-teacher ratio of around 18-19 is higher than the ratios of some other schools in the area, such as West Elementary (14.8) and Larry Miller Intermediate Elementary (18.0). The higher student-teacher ratio may be a factor in the school's academic performance, as it can make it more challenging for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. Additionally, Cambridge Intermediate School's spending per student ($8,320 in 2018-2019) is lower than the spending of some nearby schools, such as Buckeye Trail Elementary ($12,373) and Byesville Elementary ($11,402), which may also contribute to the school's academic challenges.

While Cambridge Intermediate School's student population is predominantly White, with over 90% of students identifying as White in recent years, this is a common characteristic among the schools in the Cambridge City School District and the surrounding area. The school also has a significant percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch program participation rates, which is another common factor among the schools in the region.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
