Those on here reviewing Cheyenne and giving it less than a stellar rating are either kids or parents that seriously need to grow up. School is not about making your child feel special or entertained. It's about learning. GROW UP.

This is our first year, and my daughter loves it! She didn't get all her friends on her team, but she doesn't seem at all concerned. She does have a few friends to eat lunch with and enjoy time with. I am glad it is all about academics!!! I want to supervise my childs social activities! My daughter really likes all of her classes and her teachers. I have been impressed thus far.

(i know its copying but still)
you guys are jerks. you split lunches, you don't let us have fun. we can't chew gum, and honestly, we don't even get to hug our friends. okay, i understand no making out and stuff like that, but seriously no hugging?! a hug is like a hand shake, it means literally nothing. We might have really good test scores but WHO CARES?! parents shouldn't force their kid into learning, they should want to do it. This school makes kids want to do anything except learn.

I think most of these ratings were written by the same spoiled little brat who is use to getting her own way. Must have sad parents. From the other ratings it sould like a great school. Looking forward to enrolling my son.

I think that Cheyenne is a great school but that is all it is!!! Its not a fun school, not a social school, and definately not an interacting school!!! Cheyenne has three strict principals and they piss me off!!! And we have a retarded counsler,not metioning names. We cant chew gum, we cant hug, we cant talk, we cant be late, we have four minutes to get from class to class!!!! THAT IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS!!!! I think we need to be able to have alot more freedom. I want to be able to hug my friends!!!!!! I DEMAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Glen Wood and the Appolossas team. They are phenomenal, especially the science department!

The food is discusting. Im pretty sure that there's about million health violations. I have also come very close to eating moldy bread, at least 6 times. I find hair in my food all of the time. and i do NOT have grey hair. EW! Thats all i have to say. and if this school is willing to risk our health to save a few bucks is so stupid. Is it seriously to much to ask to give us reasonable food? Not something that looks like a cat threw up on it. Why do you think that everyone at this school is so skinny? we're afraid to eat the food, we would bring it ourselves but a lot of people don't have time to make it in the morning. Just please give us food that we're not afriad to eat.

Cheyenne Middle School. A place of learning, interacting with others, and a wonderfully drama-free atmosphere. The funny thing is, though, the only things that you learn are the academics. The whole "interacting with others" thing only works if you have friends to interact with. And a drama-free atmosphere? As if! In my description, I will cover all three topics, and this is only for the good of the school.
So, Cheyenne supposedly has the best test scores and what not, but that's basically the only thing the school is judged on. If it were judged on, say, socializing, I bet it would get an F. And yes, I know that school is not for socializing, it's for learning. But the only right way to learn and actually LIKE to learn, is if you have friends to do it with. Which brings me to my next topic, interacting with others. This past year, I was seperated from my three best friends at the beginning of the year. Sure, I made friends, but I missed all of my friends. I tried to talk to them in the hall, but our passing period is so short, and it's not like were going to skip class just to talk! And I had some really horrid days this year and going to my friends during school would have helped. Too bad they were on the other team and we only got lunch to talk. And now were having split lunches?! I'm sorry, but that it crazy! What if my best friend is on the other team for the second year? How will we stay good friends? And I am not being a baby about this; it's something called honesty, which I hear you value deeply. I just want my friends on my team, is that too much to ask?
Ok, now onto my last point-drama. This year was basically full of it. Right and left people would be fighting or spreading rumors...it was horrible! Maybe the school should take better care of that and focus less on grades when our school does have the highest? Maybe if we had more social functions we could work out our problems with each other and then we could focus more on school and work habits. Because trust me, if I'm in a fight with someone, my grades will suffer.
Thank you so miuch for listening to my concerns and complaints! Other than all the bad stuff, Cheyenne really is a pretty nifty school!

This is a great school, academically, only. My best friend, ever, was on another team last year. Sure the rest of my friends might have been on my team, but she was all by her self! yeah she might have made friends and all but seriously splitting lunches? that was the only time during the day i was able to talk to her. i had and have a lot of after school activities. When i was having a bad day, i could hardly ever go to her for advice. Plus, the teachers here pick favorites! The rest of the teachers i have virtually no problem with. We may be smart when it comes to tests, but when it comes to socialize, this school is dumb. i think we should have more school events, not counting fundraisers(stuff like, the big blast party. ALWAYS FUN! and it should be longer). Thank you, and have a nice day.

I'm sorry, but this school is way too strict. The teachers are nice and electives are great, but this school needs to loosen up a bit. the academic standards are set so high that if I receive a C on something, I feel like I've disappointed everyone. I think I speak for all Cheyenne students when I say that split lunches are stupid. Some of our best friends are on the opposing team, and if you split lunches apart you are basically splitting up friendships too. Lunch was the only part of the day that I actually got to talk with my friends last year. at the beginning of 7th grade, every single one of my best friends was on the other team. not exaggerating either. I was so messed up at the beginning. sure, I made other friends, but the year would have gone a lot smoother for me if my friends were on my team. and please don't call me a baby, because I'm not. we just all need a little bit of support and friendship in our academic lives. so is that too much to ask? just to let us eat lunch with our friends? in my opinion, no. oh and also, i started crying today in fear of not being on my friends' teams. how's that for dreading school? one more thing, you say that you encourage us to make new friends, and that's why you split us up into teams and whatever, but we have friends. we are perfectly fine with our friends. and if were supposed to be friends with someone else in life, i don't think splitting us up will help at all. i believe it will happen on it's own.
thank you,

P.S. I'm not saying Cheyenne is a bad school, because it's not. all I'm saying is that you don't really know what it feels like until you've walked a mile in our shoes. understand where the students are coming from.
