Summary

Cheyenne Elementary School is a public magnet school in Macomb, Michigan, serving 447 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, which is ranked 240 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cheyenne Elementary has consistently performed well on state assessments, with a significant number of students scoring proficient or better in core subjects across grades 3-5. The school's female students and special education students have particularly excelled, ranking in the top 30% and top 25% of Michigan elementary schools, respectively. However, the performance of male students and English Language Learners has been more mixed. One area of concern is the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 13.8% in 2020-2021 to 29.5% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Cheyenne's performance is generally stronger than Sequoyah Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing Shawnee Elementary. Cheyenne's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (34.9% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to its performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact academic outcomes. The school should consider strategies to support these students and their families.
