Summary

Cimarron High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Cimarron, Kansas, with a total enrollment of 282 students. The school is part of the Cimarron-Ensign school district, which is ranked 129 out of 264 districts in the state.

Cimarron High has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. In recent years, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been generally on par with or slightly above the district averages, but below the state averages. However, in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, Cimarron High's proficiency rates were significantly lower than both the district and state averages in these subjects. The school's performance in Science has been consistently below the district and state averages across the years. Cimarron High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.1% to 96.7% in recent years, which is comparable to the nearby South Gray High School.

Compared to the nearby South Gray High School and Dodge City High School, Cimarron High generally outperforms these schools in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. However, South Gray High and Dodge City High serve larger student populations and have higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may contribute to their lower academic performance. Overall, Cimarron High appears to be a moderately performing school within the state of Kansas, with some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
