Summary:
The city of Lahoma, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Cimarron Elementary School and Cimarron High School, both part of the Cimarron school district. While Cimarron Elementary has a relatively large student enrollment of 134 students, Cimarron High School is much smaller with only 39 students.
Cimarron Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 12.69% Hispanic and 2.24% Native American students, but its academic performance has been consistently low, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oklahoma elementary schools in recent years. In contrast, Cimarron High School has shown some improvement, moving from the bottom quarter to the middle third of Oklahoma high schools, though its overall academic performance remains relatively low, with only 27.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Both schools serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (75.37% at Cimarron Elementary and 61.54% at Cimarron High). The difference in racial diversity between the two schools, with Cimarron High School having a predominantly White student body, may also be an area worth exploring further. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Cimarron High School ($11,911) compared to Cimarron Elementary School ($8,056) suggests a potential disparity in resource allocation that could impact the schools' academic outcomes.
