Cheyenne Elementary School

Summary:

Cheyenne Elementary School is a public school in Peoria, Arizona that serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Peoria Unified School District. The school has a diverse student population, with over 50% Hispanic, 28% White, and 12% African American students.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Cheyenne Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, and struggles to effectively serve its economically disadvantaged and minority student populations. In contrast, nearby schools like Oakwood Elementary and Oasis Elementary have much higher academic achievement and statewide rankings.

The combination of high poverty, diverse student population, and lower spending per student may contribute to Cheyenne Elementary's academic challenges. Targeted interventions and support focused on these areas could potentially help improve the school's overall outcomes and better serve its students.

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.

Open Quote Absolutely not. If you care about social justice or you are a person of color. Do not send your child here… they will leave traumatized and so will the parents. You would think it’s back in the 50’s how they treat Black people. Close Quote

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.
