Summary

Cimarron Elementary is a public elementary school in Cimarron, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Cimarron-Ensign school district, which is ranked 129 out of 264 districts in the state.

One of Cimarron Elementary's key strengths is its performance with English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic students. The school consistently ranks among the top 1-21 schools in Kansas for ELL student performance, earning 4-5 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars in this category. Additionally, the school ranks in the top 95-121 schools in the state for Hispanic student performance, earning 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. This is particularly noteworthy, as these student groups often struggle academically compared to their peers.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025. Additionally, while Cimarron Elementary's overall test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, the school's 5th and 6th-grade test scores are notably higher than the lower grades, suggesting potential room for improvement in the earlier grades. When compared to nearby schools, Ingalls Elementary, located just 5.88 miles away, consistently outperforms Cimarron Elementary across multiple metrics, including overall test scores and student performance.
