Summary

Cimarron Elementary is a mid-sized school in Katy, TX, serving 495 students from kindergarten through 5th grade within the highly-regarded Katy Independent School District (Isd), but it currently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, a significant decline from its historically average performance.

This school faces notable academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where only about 20% of 3rd graders and 30% of 5th graders are proficient—roughly half the district average and far below nearby schools like Roberta Wright Rylander Elementary, where 76% of 3rd graders meet math standards. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from the 74th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 26th percentile today, a steep decline not seen in neighboring schools such as Joella Exley Elementary or Nottingham Country Elementary, which consistently rank in the 87th-93rd percentile. While Cimarron has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4:1—lower than many higher-performing peers—this advantage hasn't translated into better outcomes, suggesting issues with instructional strategies or support systems rather than overcrowding.

Approximately 60% of Cimarron's students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a factor that correlates with performance challenges, though other high-poverty schools in the area, like Memorial Parkway Elementary, outperform Cimarron in several subjects. The school struggles across nearly all student groups, ranking in the bottom 20% for female, African American, Hispanic, and low-income students. A historical bright spot was strong performance with gifted students, but recent data is unavailable. Just over a mile away, Edna Mae Fielder Elementary achieves proficiency rates double or triple Cimarron's, highlighting how school performance can vary dramatically within the same district.
