Summary:
The city of Cimarron, Kansas is home to two schools - Cimarron Elementary and Cimarron High, both part of the Cimarron-Ensign school district. While both schools are rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Cimarron High appears to be the standout performer, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Cimarron Elementary.
Cimarron High outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for most grade levels, while Cimarron Elementary lags behind in these areas, particularly in the lower grade levels. Both schools perform better in Science proficiency. Cimarron High also has a stronger 89.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, compared to the high chronic absenteeism rates of around 19.5% at both schools.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as both schools have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 46% at Cimarron High and 42% at Cimarron Elementary. The lower student-teacher ratios, especially at Cimarron High, could be an advantage in providing more personalized attention and support to students. Addressing the attendance and academic performance issues at Cimarron Elementary could be a focus area for the district to improve overall school performance in the city of Cimarron.
