Cheyenne

The Cheyenne school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Cheyenne Elementary School and Cheyenne High School. While Cheyenne Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, Cheyenne High School appears to be struggling, with declining performance and test scores well below state averages.

Cheyenne Elementary School has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years and ranks #5 out of 276 elementary schools in Cheyenne. The school's test scores significantly outperform the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels, with up to 84% proficiency in 6th grade Math. This high level of academic achievement is particularly impressive given that the school has a relatively high percentage of students (43.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

In contrast, Cheyenne High School has seen a decline in its performance, with a current 2-star rating and a ranking of 230 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools. The school's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages, with only 37.5% proficiency in 11th grade ELA and 12.5% proficiency in 11th grade Math and Science. Additionally, both Cheyenne Elementary School and Cheyenne High School have a relatively homogeneous student population, with the majority being White, raising questions about racial diversity and equity within the Cheyenne school system.
