Cypress Creek Elementary School

Q: Is Cypress Creek Elementary School a good school?

Cypress Creek Elementary School ranks 274 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cypress Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Port Orange, Florida, serving 808 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Volusia District, which is ranked 36 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of Florida elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that significantly exceed the Volusia district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 76% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 54% in Volusia and 55% statewide. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (12.4%) compared to nearby schools like Chisholm Elementary (21.4%) and South Daytona Elementary (36.5%). Additionally, Cypress Creek has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.8%), compared to some neighboring schools like R.J. Longstreet Elementary (60.17%) and South Daytona Elementary (77.15%).

Cypress Creek's consistent academic excellence, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests effective teaching and learning practices. However, the school's demographic differences from nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White students and lower percentages of African American and Hispanic students, may contribute to its strong performance. This raises questions about potential opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing to help improve outcomes at lower-performing schools in the district.

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.
