Summary:
The Cimarron area has only one high school, Cimarron High School, which serves a small student population of 39 students. The school has a predominantly white student body, with 89.74% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high percentage of students (61.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges in the community.
Academically, Cimarron High School's performance is below the state average, with only 27.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and 18.2% proficient in Science. However, the school has shown improvement in its overall state ranking, moving from 348 out of 449 high schools in 2014-2015 to 169 out of 439 in 2022-2023, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 6:1 and relatively high per-student spending of $11,911 suggest that the district is investing resources into the school, but these investments have not yet translated into significantly higher academic outcomes.
Despite the challenges, Cimarron High School's small size and individualized attention may be beneficial for some students. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region or state could provide additional insights into the school's performance and areas for improvement, which could be valuable for parents and the community as they consider educational options for their children.
