Summary
Cimarron Elementary serves 312 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Cimarron, Kansas, and its results are generally stronger than those of many nearby schools. In 2025–26, proficiency was 44% in English language arts (ELA), 35% in math and 40% in science. Science was above state and district results, while ELA was close to the state result. The most important concern is math: proficiency was 6 percentage points below the state and 4 points below the district.
Compared with the 10 nearby schools, Cimarron was above the nearby-school average in all three subjects: by 10 points in ELA, 10 in math and 6 in science. It ranked fourth of 11 schools in ELA, third in math and fifth in science, so its strongest showing against local averages was ELA, even though science is its strongest subject compared with the state and district. Grade-level results add useful detail: grade 3 ELA was 55%, above the state’s 52%, while grade 4 math was 29%, well below the state’s 44%.
Results have changed unevenly since 2022–23: ELA rose 11 points to 44%, while math fell 4 points to 35% and science fell 8 points to 40%; science also dropped 11 points from the previous year. Cimarron’s SchoolDigger statewide ranking is now at the 31st percentile with 2 stars, down from the 49th percentile in 2020–21, though it ranks fourth among these 11 schools. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11, the second-lowest nearby, and 46% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the third-lowest rate in the group; these are context, not explanations for achievement. One notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 ranking for English Language Learner Students: the 99th percentile, or 1 of 129 schools, compared with the school’s overall 38th percentile.
