Cimarron Elementary

Summary:

Cimarron Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 611 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Katy Independent School District, which is ranked 158 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Cimarron Elementary has faced significant academic challenges in recent years. The school's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the Katy ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with particularly poor performance in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.19% of 3rd graders and 21.98% of 5th graders met proficiency in math, compared to 56.78% and 65.4% for Katy ISD, respectively. Cimarron Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined, from 1119 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3392 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

Cimarron Elementary's academic struggles may be linked to its student demographics, which differ from nearby schools in the Katy ISD. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (38.46%) and African American (15.38%) students, as well as a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students (59.25% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). In contrast, nearby schools like Joella Exley Elementary, Nottingham Country Elementary, and James E. Williams Elementary serve student populations with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and consistently outperform Cimarron Elementary on academic measures.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
