GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At Cheney High School, we were often treated somewhat like children, and it made it extremely difficult to learn much of the time. Learning was often disrupted by people who didn't care. Frequently the bathrooms were closed due to students vaping in them, and this was even acknowledged by faculty and the yearbook team without any change being enacted. The best parts of my time were due to my friends, and I wish the school would get its act together.

I wish our administration and teachers would put more effort into our experience O...

Overall, positive. They provide the tools for children to learn. Three kids through CHS, two college grads and one (senior at Cheney) on the way!

I have never had a worse experience with a school. It is flawed in so many ways, the education sucks all the students are unwelcoming, rude and disrespectful to eachother and the teachers. Many teachers do an awful job at teaching in one of my classes the teacher just tells us to learn it on youtube...
