GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There are many extracurricular opportunities at Cambria Heights. There are clubs such as science fair, forensics, musical, band, choir, sports, foreign travel club, scholastic quiz, and many more. The quality of these extracurriculars is fairly good. I participate in many of these and enjoy my time while doing so.

Many of the teache...
