Cimarron Elementary School

Cimarron has a marvelous principal, Mrs. Wehunt, she keeps her school in check, the school grounds neat, and the children prepared for all testing. She is a motivator and the test results demonstrate her hard work. The teachers are some of the best in the district and demand respect and they are committed to student motivation and results.

The staff of this school seem to have the best intenitons, but as our education system continues to fail, this school is definently going down with the ship. The school is desperate to raise scores on standardized tests, the students are hammered facts into their heads without fostering any love of learing. There are far too many students crammed into each classroom. Supervision and discipline are scarce. My son is constantly bullied, gets his lunch stomped on and his things stolen on a daily basis. He reports it to the staff staff, but has been repeatedly reprimanded for "tattling." I don't know whether they don't care, or are too short handed to manage all the kids.

I have had two sons attend Cimarron. One through the SDC program and another is still is regular ed. The teachers are fantastic. Every teacher my sons have had are hard workers, effective and easy to work with. My son who was able to be mainstreamed was not zoned for the school but I made sure he was able to come back because I like the office staff, teachers, noon duties and overall environment at the school.

I see most of the good reviews for Cimarron school comes from staff themself. That's what i call it conflict of interest. School is definitly below average as CST score shows and for 2010 rating, they scored lowered than 2009. Staff are more worry about their benefits and holidays than student's education.

Cimarron was a great school especially since i have been there for K-6th grade i feel very sad to leave it. I think that there are very great teachers especially my 6th grade teacher. I think that the school food needs to be a little bit more better once in a while instead of all of us not eating and skipping lunch to get energy. By, Vanessa 1e

I have a great opinion of this elementary school. Unfortunately, my two boys have had to attend 6 schools, this one by far has provided the best for them. The school has strict policies and rules that are enforced. The classrooms are new, clean, and have good teachers. My children did better with the higher expectations placed upon them from that school. Hope this helps.

This is my second time through, The first was when the school first opened, I would not have given it very high marks by the time my first child was done. Now however, I feel that the quality of the staff has improved greatly!
