Cypress Ridge High School

Summary:

Cypress Ridge High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 2,921 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 Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Ridge has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (61.31%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 37.55% to 57.19% Hispanic students. Academically, Cypress Ridge's performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across most subject areas. For example, in Algebra I, Cypress Ridge's proficiency rate was 36.11% compared to the district's 62.98% and the state's 44.73%. Additionally, Cypress Ridge's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 93.8% in 2019-2020 to 91.3% in 2022-2023, which is still above the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools like Langham Creek High School and Cy-Fair High School.

Cypress Ridge has a high percentage of students (75.52%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the nearby schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students generally performing better than African American and Hispanic students. These findings suggest that Cypress Ridge may face challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities and supporting student achievement, particularly for its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.

Open Quote Many people would say Cy-ridge is a bad school but I don't think so I'm a student at Cy-ridge and I get nothing lower then a B- in any class. Its fine art classes are top rated in many competitions I now because I'm in orchestra. I like the teachers there why? Because they really show you that they want to help and make you understand the subject of what they are teaching you. If I was asked if I wanted to change schools to go to any other school I think I would say no I like being at Cy-ridge and everything about it well almost everything as ever school in the nation they all need a bit of change!! But this is what I think of my high school Close Quote

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.
