What this school's NCES data tells you
Cambridge Intermediate School reports 412 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 22.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 18.4:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 1% above the Ohio state mean of 18.3:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 16% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 412 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 35.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Cambridge City spends $16,080 per pupil district-wide, below the Ohio average of $16,867 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 31.8% from local sources (property taxes), 45.6% from the state, and 22.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 31/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
