Summary

Cheyenne Elementary School in Macomb, MI, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the Chippewa Valley Schools district, serving 440 students in a moderately affluent area where about 1 in 4 students qualifies for free/reduced lunch.

Cheyenne's standout strength is its 5th-grade Social Studies program, where students consistently outperform district and state averages by wide margins—most recently posting a 40.8% proficiency rate versus 28.5% for the district and 27.5% statewide. The school also excels at getting kids to class: only 12.3% of students are chronically absent, which is roughly half the district rate (23.1%) and less than half the state average (27.9%). This strong attendance culture is notably better than nearby Ojibwa Elementary School, located just a third of a mile away, where 25.9% of students are chronically absent. Cheyenne also invests heavily in its students, spending $17,255 per pupil—the highest among all comparable nearby schools, including district peers like Cherokee Elementary School ($13,663) and Sequoyah Elementary School ($16,806).

However, parents should know that Cheyenne's overall state ranking has slipped in recent years, from the 84th percentile in 2022-2023 down to the 68th percentile for 2025-2026. This decline appears tied to specific grade-level cohorts rather than a systemic issue—for example, one class posted exceptional 60% ELA proficiency in 4th grade and maintained high scores as they moved through the school. Performance in Math and ELA is solid but more mixed than Social Studies, with some grade levels dipping slightly below state averages. The school serves its English Language Learner students particularly well (68th percentile statewide), though results for White students and those from low-income households lag behind the school's overall performance. While Cheyenne remains a strong choice—especially compared to Ojibwa Elementary, which ranks 729th statewide—families may want to ask how the school plans to address its recent ranking dip and ensure strong outcomes across all student groups.
