Cheney School District

The Cheney School District in Washington state consists of 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

The district's top-performing schools are Windsor Elementary and Betz Elementary, which consistently score above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Westwood Middle School also stands out among the district's middle schools, with test scores and rankings that are consistently higher than the other middle schools. On the other hand, Sunset Elementary and Three Springs High School appear to be the lowest-performing schools in the district based on their test scores and rankings.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, which may be correlated with socioeconomic factors, such as the percentage of students from low-income families receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The strong performance of Westwood Middle School suggests that the quality of middle school education may be a key factor in preparing students for success in high school, while the challenges faced by the district's alternative and small high schools, such as low test scores, high dropout rates, and poor graduation rates, indicate a need for additional support and resources to better serve these student populations.
