Cypress Hills Collegiate Preparatory School

Summary:

Cypress Hills Collegiate Preparatory School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Brooklyn, New York, with a student population of 404. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 754 out of 866 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Hills Collegiate Preparatory School stands out for its high Hispanic student population (73.51%), significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 26.21% to 54.9% Hispanic students. The school has also seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 83.3% in 2018-2019 to 97.8% in 2022-2023, outperforming the nearby Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School and Queens Metropolitan High School. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has decreased from 8.3% in 2018-2019 to 0.0% in 2022-2023, a significant improvement compared to the surrounding schools.

However, Cypress Hills Collegiate Preparatory School faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 53.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. While the school outperforms the New York City Geographic District #19 and the state of New York in several Regents exam subjects, it struggles in others, such as Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's high percentage of low-income students (90.59% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and its location within a low-performing school district may contribute to these challenges, but the increased funding and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that the school has the potential to continue improving its outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
