Summary:
The city of Cement, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Cement Elementary School and Cement High School. While the elementary school has a relatively large enrollment of 141 students, the high school is quite small with only 64 students. Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds including a significant Native American representation.
Cement Elementary School faces challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade and having a high percentage of students (87.94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student body. In contrast, Cement High School has shown improvement, moving from the bottom quarter to the middle range of Oklahoma high schools in its statewide ranking over time, though its academic performance remains relatively low with only 35.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.3% in Mathematics.
Overall, the schools in Cement, Oklahoma face a combination of academic, socioeconomic, and demographic challenges that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school quality. The small school sizes, particularly at the high school level, may also present challenges in terms of offering a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs, as well as in maintaining financial and operational sustainability.
