Cypress Creek High School

Summary:

Cypress Creek High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 3,366 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Cypress Creek High School stands out for its diverse student population, with 39.66% Hispanic, 29% African American, 19.28% White, and 9% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance has declined over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 396 out of 1,777 Texas high schools in 2016-2017 to 869 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school is struggling to keep pace with other high schools in the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students performing relatively well, but English Language Learners and Multi-racial students lagging behind.

Compared to nearby schools like Cy-Fair High School and Cypress Falls High School, Cypress Creek High School generally performs worse on standardized test scores and has a lower graduation rate. Additionally, the school has a high poverty rate, with 59.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps and provide additional resources for economically disadvantaged students.

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.
