Cheyenne High School

Summary:

Cheyenne High School is a public high school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,110 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (51.66%) and African American (28.58%) student population, and faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Cheyenne High School's academic performance is well below state and district averages, with only 8.7% of students proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 20.1% statewide and 18.7% in the Clark County School District. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, particularly male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. With an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.95% to 100% in recent years, Cheyenne High School serves a student population facing significant economic challenges.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Canyon Springs High School and Mojave High School, Cheyenne High School is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. In contrast, several high-performing charter schools in the North Las Vegas area, such as Democracy Prep at Agassi High and Nevada State High School North Las Vegas, are able to achieve significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that the challenges faced by Cheyenne High School may be addressable through alternative approaches to education.

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.
