Depending on schools, there is no weight class. It isn't a big issue. As long as you can do jumps good it's fine. Don't make a big deal of your weight... It's perfecty normal for your height and you will be fine as long as you have skills.

first off, good luck! cheerleading is really fun, and i know you'll enjoy it.
first off, no, you dont need to be in a certain weight class, but if you do want to loose weight, you can always diet. but, being 5'7, you would definately be a base. tossing isnt hard to learn, but make sure to wear some sort of wrist protection, because from basing, i needed surgery on my wrist because of it. have fun, and good luck!

If you want, you can lose weight, but the real thing that will help you is the skill. Cheerleading is a natural fat burning ability, so work on the skill first - afterwards will come weight loss. Just remember to start 'dieting' or whatever you want to do at least a month before the tryouts, because the body takes about a month to get used to a new weight loss routine. You don't want to feel awkward at the tryouts.
Also, the requirements must not be set in stone if they aren't written out. Learn some routines and basic moves, and learn some KNOCK OUT moves too! Work on it everyday for 30 min, and you'll be ready to go! I know it's difficult to find the time everyday, but it worked for me.
Tossing to hand is difficult to learn, but easy to practice. A lot of great cheerleading sites can easily teach you how. Here are some that I have used;

It's always a good idea to check out some associations, such as these. They taught me a lot about what to expect for trying out.
