Summary

Cheyenne Elementary School serves 554 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Peoria, Arizona, as part of the Peoria Unified School District. In 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 27% in math, both below state and district averages. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by grade: fourth grade was a standout, while fifth grade was a clear weak point.

Fourth grade was a particular strength compared with nearby schools and the state and district: Cheyenne’s ELA proficiency was 55%, and its math result of 63% was higher than every nearby school with a reported result. Only Oakwood Elementary School had a higher nearby fourth-grade ELA result. Fifth grade looked quite different: ELA proficiency was 22%, the lowest reported among nearby schools, and math was 25%. The 33-point gap between fourth- and fifth-grade ELA results is striking. Overall, Cheyenne’s ELA was 7 percentage points below the state and 10 below the district; math was 6 points below the state and 10 below the district. Both subjects were close to nearby-school averages, so the school does not stand out locally on its all-grades results.

SchoolDigger’s overall statewide percentile rose from 35 in 2023–2024 to 54 in 2025–2026, including a 17-point rise in the latest year; the school received 3 stars and ranked 418th of 900. Its 16:1 student-teacher ratio is below the nearby-school average of 17.3:1. Cheyenne reported that 72% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022–2023; nearby entries are unavailable for comparison. SchoolDigger’s ranking for effectiveness in serving Hispanic students reached the 74th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 54th percentile. Its ranking for African American students was much lower in 2022–2023, at the 7th percentile versus 33rd overall. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 24% in 2024–2025, down 1 point from 2022–2023 and below the state’s 34% and district’s 36%. ELA and math results are available for only one year, and science results cover limited grade-years.

Open Quote Absolutely not. If you care about social justice or you are a person of color. Do not send your child here… they will leave traumatized and so will the parents. You would think it’s back in the 50’s how they treat Black people. Close Quote
