Summary

Cheney High is a public high school in Cheney, Kansas, serving 235 students in grades 9–12. Its latest reported results show strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), Math and Science compared with Kansas overall. Most importantly, proficiency at Cheney High exceeded the state average in all three subjects: by 18 percentage points in ELA, 28 in Math and 14 in Science.

Math and ELA are the school’s clearest strengths among nearby schools, while Science is a relative weak spot. Cheney High had 69% proficiency in Math and 63% in ELA, the highest results among nearby schools with reported scores; these were 27 and 19 points above the nearby-school averages. Its Math result also topped the nearby high, Conway Springs High School, by 14 points. Science proficiency was 53%—9 points above the nearby average and second-highest locally, but 13 points below Conway Springs High School. Compared with the Cheney district, the school was 3 points lower in ELA and 8 lower in Science, but 5 points higher in Math.

ELA proficiency rose 29 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and Math rose 25 points, although Math eased from 77% in 2024–2025 to 69%. Science gained 15 points between the available 2022–2023 and 2025–2026 results; no Science score is provided for 2024–2025, so the year-by-year trend is unclear. SchoolDigger ranks Cheney High 11th of 340 Kansas schools, in the 97th percentile with five stars; its percentile was 79 in 2018–2019 and peaked at 98 in 2024–2025. Its student-teacher ratio is a low 9.6, while chronic absenteeism is 20%, above the state’s 18% and district’s 11%. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 21%, compared with 29% on average at nearby schools with reported rates. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2023–2024, the school’s Special Education Students percentile was 69, below its overall percentile of 91, indicating a lower relative standing in how it serves that group.
