Cheyenne

The Cheyenne area has two schools: Cheyenne Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 with 192 students, and Cheyenne High School, serving grades 9–12 with 82 students. Both schools are above state proficiency rates in every subject they share in 2025–2026. The most important shared result is ELA I: both schools reached 59% proficiency, 33 percentage points above the state’s 26%.

Cheyenne Elementary stands out in mathematics and science, with 65% and 60% proficient, respectively, compared with 32% and 49% at the high school. That is a 33-point school-to-school difference in math and an 11-point difference in science; both schools tie at 59% in ELA I. The high school’s math result is the lowest of the shared results, but it is still 7 points above the 25% state rate. U.S. History is reported only for Cheyenne High School: 59%, or 18 points above the state. Its 11th graders also exceeded state results in all four subjects.

Recent changes vary by school and subject: Cheyenne Elementary was steady in ELA I, gained 1 point in math and fell 15 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; Cheyenne High School gained 7 points in ELA I and 6 in science, while math fell 3 points. SchoolDigger lists both schools in its 5-star category; its rank histories place Elementary in the 92nd–99th percentiles and High School in the 93rd–97th. Context differs too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 54% at Elementary and 31% at High School, while student–teacher ratios were 12 and 7.7. High School’s graduation rate was 93% versus 78% statewide, and both schools had chronic absenteeism near 1%, compared with 16% statewide in 2025–2026. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their All Grades results are not perfectly matched comparisons.
