Cypress Elementary School

Summary:

Cypress Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving 740 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.3% to 44.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 57% and 65% respectively for the district. Additionally, Cypress Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.14% to 79.46% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Floranada Elementary School, which is located just 1.93 miles away, Cypress Elementary consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. The high chronic absenteeism rate and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Cypress Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial for improving student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
