Summary:
Zip code 74553 has two schools in the Kiowa district: Kiowa Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 197 students, and Kiowa High School, serving grades 9–12 with 80 students; there is no middle school listed. The schools enroll 277 students combined. The clearest takeaway is that their strengths differ by subject: in 2025–2026, elementary results were 14 points above the state in math and 13 points above in science, while high school ELA and U.S. History were each 20 points above the state.
Elementary stands out against the state in all three reported subjects: ELA was 28% versus 26%, math 39% versus 25%, and science 43% versus 30%. High school’s all-grades results were stronger than the state in ELA (46% versus 26%) and U.S. History (61% versus 41%), but lower in math (18% versus 25%) and science (23% versus 30%). Its matched 11th-grade results were above the state in all four subjects, including math by 1 point and science by 2 points. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades scores do not establish which school performs better overall.
Results mostly fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, with math the exception at both schools: elementary math rose from 31% to 39%, while its ELA and science results fell by 8 and 4 points; high school math rose from 16% to 18%, while ELA, science, and U.S. History fell by 12, 9, and 6 points. SchoolDigger placed the high school at the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026, down 6 percentile points from the prior year but still above the midpoint; the elementary school’s latest supplied ranking is older, at the 50th percentile in 2020–2021. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 58% at elementary and 59% at high school; student-teacher ratios were 13 and 8.9, respectively. Both schools had lower chronic absenteeism than the state in 2025–2026, and the high school graduation rate was above the state in 2024–2025.
