Summary:
ZIP code 73017 has two schools serving preschool through grade 12: Cement Elementary School serves PK–8 and enrolls 123 students, while Cement High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 42; there is no separate middle school. The schools have different grade spans, so their all-grades scores are not a like-for-like comparison. The key area-wide concern is that both schools’ reported test-score gaps to the state widened between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
Cement High stands out in all-grades English Language Arts I: it scored 34% in 2025–2026, 8 percentage points above the state’s 26%, while Cement Elementary scored 15%, 11 points below. In mathematics, both were below the state’s 25%: Cement High scored 13% (12 points below) and Cement Elementary 8% (17 points below). The available grade-matched comparison also shows Cement High’s 11th graders below the state in every reported subject: by 2 points in ELA, 4 in mathematics, 13 in science, and 12 in U.S. History. These results do not establish an overall ranking between schools with different grade spans.
Recent results fell most sharply at Cement High: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its all-grades scores declined 3 points in ELA and mathematics, 10 in science, and 11 in U.S. History; the state’s corresponding scores were steady or fell by just 1 point. Cement Elementary’s ELA fell 1 point and mathematics 6, while its state comparisons fell 0 and 1 point, respectively. SchoolDigger’s Cement High ranking also dropped, from the 70th percentile and 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 33rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. Other context: in 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were similar at 10.9 at Cement Elementary and 10.5 at Cement High; both reported free/reduced lunch eligible, at 85% and 52%, respectively.
