Cambridge Public School District

For primary schools named "Cambridge" see: Cambridge Elementary School (disambiguation) The Cambridge Public School District or Cambridge Public Schools is a school district serving Cambridge, Massachusetts in Greater Boston, in the United States. The mission of the school district is "Cambridge Public Schools delivers an excellent education that inspires, acknowledges, empowers, and supports every student on their personal journey to achieve their highest potential in and beyond school and as productive members of their communities." In 2003, the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS), also known as Rindge School, came close to losing its educational accreditation when it was placed on probation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The school has improved under Principal Chris Saheed; graduation rates hover around 98%, and 70% of students gain college admission. In 2006 James Conry, the district's chief financial officer said that the district had a projected $4.9 million surplus due to a high state reimbursement from the Circuit Breaker program. In July 2023, the Boston Globe reported that some parents had removed their children from the school district because it had stopped offering Algebra 1 to eighth grade students. The district, as of 2022, has twelve elementary schools, with ten schools with grade levels JK-5, one English-Spanish dual immersion school with grades JK-8, and a Montessori school serving age 3 to grade 5. It has four upper schools and one full high school program.
