Elementary Schools in Cheylin

Cheylin has one elementary school, Cheylin Elementary, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 102 students. With only one school, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The most important finding is that recent gains in English and math have not carried over to science: in 2025–26, the school was above the state in ELA and math but 11 percentage points below it in science.

As the only school, Cheylin Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this list, with results varying by subject. Its 2025–26 all-grades results were 51% in ELA, 43% in math and 27% in science, compared with state results of 46%, 41% and 38%, respectively. Sixth grade stands out: ELA was 69% versus 42% statewide, and math was 64% versus 41%. Results were weaker in some other tested grades, including grade 4 ELA (36% versus 50%) and grade 5 science (27% versus 46%). SchoolDigger ranks the school 374th of 657 elementary schools, at the 43rd percentile, and gives it 2 stars.

Results have improved in ELA and math but declined in science. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Cheylin rose 13 percentage points in ELA and 10 points in math, while science fell 4 points; its science gap with the state widened from 10 to 11 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rebounded from the 17th percentile in 2024–25 to the 43rd percentile in 2025–26, though it remained below its 54th-percentile standing in 2023–24. Attendance is a favorable comparison: chronic absenteeism was 8%, versus 9% for the district and 18% statewide. The school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 9.6, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 52%; these figures describe the school’s context.
