Cheyenne Elementary School

2025-2026 Was the 1st and last year for two of my children. The experience from most teachers was horrible, I had to constantly make appointments with not only the teachers but the principal. On top of it not all teachers respond unless I cc the rest. They run classes very strictly, yet the teachers themselves need more training. Kids are there to learn and not feel they are in some type of boot camp and hate going. I have a gifted child that I was told he would continue his gifted classes and they took a while to even put him. After several times of me continuously reaching out, and even then the teacher only would give him a sheet to do. In my opinion they didn’t provide the correct gifted program I was told about. I’m glad I am a parent that is involved with my children education and recommend everyone to do the same.

I had my son in Alta Loma many years ago and after moving away we are now back in the community, and although this is not our home base school I made it a priority to now have my daughter attending. I had the most amazing experience with my son that I wanted my daughter to experience it as well. All of the teachers and staff have been so incredibly supportive with helping give her the best experience. I would highly recommend this school to anyone moving into the area.

My step daughter has been going to this school for a while. All this time that she has been here was terrible for her. The vice principal at this school has been picking on my step daughter. I do not tolerate this behavior. I do not recommend Ira Murphy for anyone. The staff here is terrible. They never want to hear anyone out and make so many false accusations. If I could take my step daughter out of this school, I would. She has been complaining to me about her school and the staff there. I absolutely do not want to see any other kid feeling this way. Seeing my step daughter looking miserable everyday after school makes my heart shatter and fills me with anger. This is a terrible school and no child should have to go through this.

I’ve had great interactions with teachers and staff. Love this school!

My 5-year-old's been having problems since he started first grade my son told me the teacher put her hands on him and hurt him twice and yes there was bruises the first time I brought it up there was nothing done the second time I called the district which they retaliated against me and now they don't want nothing to do with me they said I need to get a notarized paper signed and stamped and now will only deal with my wife the school needs to be investigated it's only been 2 months and it's been the worst experience I've ever had dealing with a school and feeling that my son's safeties at risk so much more I could say about what we have been going through shaking my head corporate needs to investigate the school and these teachers and principal they do not care for these students or to help them

I am very disappointed in our experience with this school and ultimately decided it was no longer the right placement for my child.Despite having a 504 Plan, my child’s documented accommodations—including dietary needs and reminders to drink water—were not consistently followed. Academically, reading instruction occurred only twice per week, which led to significant delays and was especially concerning given the school’s small class size and private setting. There was a noticeable lack of individualized academic support.Supervision and school culture were also troubling. On multiple occasions, staff did not assist my child during drop-off. Inappropriate behavior and language among students went unaddressed, including name-calling from older students. A teacher’s response that this behavior “meant they loved her” was deeply concerning and unacceptable.Communication was inconsistent and often unclear. Progress reports were repeatedly delayed and, when finally received, contradicted prior conversations about my child’s academic struggles. Additionally, my child’s tutor identified academic deficiencies that had never been communicated by the school, and there were inconsistencies between staff regarding her progress.Overall, this experience showed a lack of accountability, communication, and appropriate support. Families should ask detailed questions about accommodations, academic intervention, and how student behavior is handled before enrolling.
