Cypress Ridge Elementary School

Q: Is Cypress Ridge Elementary School a good school?

Cypress Ridge Elementary School ranks 308 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cypress Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Clermont, Florida, serving 593 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Lake District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in the state.

Cypress Ridge Elementary consistently outperforms the Lake District and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to district and state averages. The school has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade and is ranked among the top 308 elementary schools in Florida out of 2,256. Cypress Ridge also has a more diverse student population than some nearby schools, with 21.25% Hispanic and 7.42% African American students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 1.7% in 2019-2020 to 13.3% in 2022-2023, which may be an area for further investigation.

While Cypress Ridge Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby charter schools, such as Pinecrest Lakes Academy and Imagine Schools At South Lake, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with even higher proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (19.9%) compared to nearby schools like Clermont Elementary (60.31%) and Mascotte Elementary (61.75%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in its strong academic performance.

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.
