Cypresswood Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (51.63%) and African American (38.2%) students compared to the state average.

Cypresswood Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $7,716 in 2018-2019 to $9,753 in 2020-2021, its performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools within the Aldine Independent School District, such as Ogden Elementary and Jones Elementary, which have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings.
