Summary:
The city of Cheyenne, Oklahoma is home to two schools: Cheyenne Elementary School and Cheyenne High School. While Cheyenne Elementary School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, Cheyenne High School has seen a decline in its performance over the years.
Cheyenne Elementary School stands out as an exceptional institution, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, far exceeding the state average. In contrast, Cheyenne High School's academic performance is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 43.8% across different subject areas. The significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school levels raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources within the district.
While Cheyenne Elementary School serves a predominantly white student population, it has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to Cheyenne High School. Additionally, Cheyenne Elementary School has a higher percentage of students from lower-income families, as indicated by the higher free and reduced lunch rate. These demographic and socioeconomic differences between the two schools may warrant further investigation to ensure that all students in the Cheyenne area have access to quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
