What Parents Should Know

Cheyenne HS is a large school: 2,004 students. Size usually brings more course choices and activities than a smaller school can staff, but kids can also blend into the crowd. Ask how the school keeps students known and supported.

Cheyenne HS runs 30.8:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.

71% of students at Cheyenne HS were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
