Elementary Schools in Cimarron-Ensign

The Cimarron-Ensign school district in Kansas has only one elementary school, Cimarron Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has maintained a consistent middle-of-the-pack ranking among Kansas elementary schools, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, is generally below the state average.

Cimarron Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the state averages, though the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is higher than the state's. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is a concerning metric linked to lower academic achievement. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 42.38%.

Despite these challenges, Cimarron Elementary maintains a stable performance, ranking between 358th and 408th out of 656-660 Kansas elementary schools over the past three years. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending was $10,820 in the 2018-2019 school year. While the school's academic performance could be improved, the data suggests that the Cimarron-Ensign district is working to provide a solid educational foundation for its students.
