However, the school struggles in PSAT and SAT Math assessments, with a significant gap compared to the district and state. In contrast, Kiowa Middle School underperforms the district and state averages in CMAS English Language Arts and Math assessments across all grades.

Additionally, the racial diversity of the student population appears to be a factor, with Kiowa High School's more diverse student body performing better in Reading and Writing but struggling in Math assessments compared to the district and state.
