School District No. C-2

Summary:

School District No. C-2 consists of three schools: Kiowa Elementary School, Kiowa High School, and Kiowa Middle School. The district faces significant academic and attendance challenges, with consistently low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools.

Kiowa Elementary School stands out with relatively low test scores, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Kiowa High School has decent PSAT/SAT performance, a high graduation rate, and a low dropout rate, but also faces high chronic absenteeism. Kiowa Middle School has low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district.

Across the district, the high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at Kiowa High School and Kiowa Middle School, suggest that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Addressing the academic and attendance issues in School District No. C-2 will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers these factors.
