Cambridgeport vs Amigos School

Cambridgeport and Amigos School sit at virtually identical positions in Massachusetts, ranking 68th and 69th respectively out of 1,791 schools statewide — a gap of one spot that reflects how closely matched these two Cambridge elementaries are at the top level. Both earn a 9.0/10 overall rating, making the choice between them a question of which specific strengths matter more to a given family rather than a clear quality differential.

The academic picture does show a concrete gap: Amigos School posts a 9.0/10 academic score against Cambridgeport's 8.3/10, a 0.7-point difference that reflects stronger measured proficiency. Cambridgeport counters with a meaningfully higher growth score — 9.2/10 versus Amigos School's 8.6/10 — indicating that Cambridgeport students make more progress relative to their starting points. Families prioritizing raw achievement levels will find Amigos School ahead; families who want to see their child grow regardless of where they begin will find Cambridgeport's growth numbers compelling.

Enrollment and staffing differ noticeably. Cambridgeport serves 285 students, while Amigos School enrolls 418 — 47% more students. Despite that size difference, student-teacher ratios are nearly identical: 10.6:1 at Cambridgeport and 10.7:1 at Amigos School. Both numbers reflect a level of individual attention well above typical public school norms, so neither school disadvantages students on that dimension regardless of campus size.

The most structurally significant difference is grade span. Cambridgeport serves students through 5th grade, requiring a middle school transition after elementary. Amigos School extends through 8th grade, keeping students in the same building from PK through middle school. For families with multiple children or those who value continuity over multiple years, that PK–08 structure at Amigos School eliminates one school transition entirely.
