Accountability
Most funding for Cherokee Central Schools flows through the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). Because CCS receives federal funding through the BIE, it is required to meet the ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) reporting requirements. Each year, the school district reports its performance on the reading and math EOGs in grades 3-8, and science EOG data is reported in grades 5 and 8. For high school, data from the Biology, Math 1, Math 3, and English II EOC assessments are reported.
