Summary

Cheyenne Elementary School is a public school located in Peoria, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with 566 students. It is part of the Peoria Unified School District, which is ranked 138 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating. However, Cheyenne Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools over the past several years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cheyenne Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Peoria Unified School District and the state of Arizona in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21% of 3rd graders at Cheyenne were proficient in ELA, compared to 41% in the district and 36% statewide. Additionally, Cheyenne Elementary has seen a steady increase in dropout rates, rising from 3.3% in 2019-2020 to 6.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Cheyenne Elementary to other nearby schools in the Peoria Unified School District, it becomes clear that Cheyenne is one of the lower-performing schools in the district. Schools like Oakwood Elementary and Oasis Elementary consistently outperform Cheyenne in test scores, student growth, and overall school rankings. Despite increased spending per student at Cheyenne Elementary, from $6,569 in 2019-2020 to $7,842 in 2021-2022, these investments have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

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
