Cypress Creek High School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.4% to 99.5% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also generally performs better than the district and state averages in various standardized tests, such as End-of-Course (EOC) exams and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Cypress Creek had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in EOC Geometry (59% vs. 53% and 53%), EOC US History (72% vs. 71% and 68%), and FAST English Language Arts for 10th grade (54% vs. 52% and 53%). Additionally, Cypress Creek High School has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 51.43% White, 8.97% African American, 31.01% Hispanic, and 3.3% Asian.

Despite its strong academic performance, Cypress Creek High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 203 out of 734 Florida high schools in 2018-2019 to 292 out of 807 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges that are impacting its overall performance relative to other schools in the state, such as a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.2% in 2019-2020 to 31.5% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a significant percentage of students (35.01% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be influencing the school's performance and should be considered when developing targeted interventions and support programs.

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.
