Summary:
The city of Cement, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Cement Elementary School and Cement High School. While the high school has shown strong performance, ranking in the top 30% of Oklahoma high schools, the elementary school has historically struggled but is showing signs of improvement.
Cement High School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 130 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools, indicating a solid academic standing. In contrast, Cement Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (16%) and Mathematics (14%) compared to the state averages (26% for both). However, the elementary school has been gradually improving its ranking over the past few years, suggesting that efforts are being made to address these academic challenges.
Both schools face significant economic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (86.86% at the elementary school and 80.95% at the high school). Additionally, both schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates (19.0%), which may be contributing to the academic struggles observed. The Cement school district will need to focus on addressing these underlying issues to improve educational outcomes for all students in the community.
