Cheyenne Ms, Edmond OK - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Cheyenne Ms

Cheyenne Middle School serves grades six through eight in Edmond, a suburban city in Oklahoma County that is part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The school is part of Edmond Public Schools, a district that draws from a community marked by steady population growth, a major university presence, and a well-educated resident base.

On state assessments, Cheyenne MS showed mixed but overall competitive results. In sixth and seventh grade, roughly two in five students met the proficiency standard in math, while in eighth grade that share was notably lower. English language arts proficiency was similar, around two in five in sixth and seventh grade, dipping slightly in eighth. Science stood out: a substantial majority of eighth graders scored at or above the proficient level. When measured against other schools in the county, the school's combined proficiency across tested subjects placed it among the stronger performers, well above the typical level seen across Oklahoma County districts. It is worth noting that the state changed cut scores for math and reading in recent years, so direct comparisons to prior years are not possible with the data available.

The student body is predominantly white, with a meaningful presence of students who are Hispanic, identify as two or more races, Black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. Information on the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as well as those receiving special education or English learner services, was not reported. No data on discipline, attendance, or staffing was available either.

Edmond itself is a growing city with a historic downtown, a strong civic infrastructure of parks and recreation facilities, and the University of Central Oklahoma as a major anchor. Home values in the area are above the state average, and the rental market has been rising gradually. The city’s population is highly educated, and the local economy is supported by the university, health care, retail, and municipal services. The school district did not have any major recent developments or changes reported in available sources that would affect parents in the near term.

For a family considering Cheyenne MS, the school’s academic performance relative to Oklahoma County is a strength, especially in science. The drop in eighth-grade math proficiency is a point a parent may want to explore with the school, to understand the curriculum and supports in place during that transition year. The school is not a charter or magnet; its student body reflects the broader Edmond community, which is diverse but with a majority-white composition. Because data on programs, course access, and student support services was not available, families would need to reach out to the school directly to learn about electives, intervention programs, and extracurricular offerings. The community context is stable and resourced, with a school district that has not recently undergone major disruptions. Cheyenne MS fits a family looking for a middle school in a well-established suburban district with above-county-average academic outcomes, though specific programming details remain to be filled in through direct inquiry.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
