Summary:
Cheney, Washington is served by one public middle school, Cheney Middle School, which educates about 637 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Cheney School District.
Cheney Middle School shows consistent performance from year to year, though its academic proficiency rates generally fall below the Washington state averages. The school's performance is closest to the state average in science, while it faces its largest challenge in mathematics. An interesting pattern within the school is that 7th graders tend to perform strongest in English Language Arts, while 8th graders perform best in math; 6th grade students have the lowest proficiency rates in these core subjects, which may highlight challenges with the transition to middle school.
The school's academic results are very similar to the overall performance of the Cheney School District, indicating broader educational trends in the area. With over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and per-student spending above the national average, the school has significant resources to address learning gaps. For parents, the data suggests that understanding the school's strategies in its stronger areas, like science, and its support systems for incoming 6th graders and math instruction could be key areas of focus.
