CAMBRIDGEPORT

Cambridgeport is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Cambridge school district, located in Cambridge, MA with about 342 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, Cambridgeport has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

At the heart of the Cambridgeport philosophy is a focus on project-based learning and the "habits of mind" that help students develop critical thinking and collaboration skills. The school prides itself on a strong partnership between teachers, families, and the wider community, which helps create a supportive atmosphere for diverse learners.
