GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been to two other community colleges before starting at Cypress: Rio Hondo and Fullerton. I have nearly enough credits for my AA, and I chose to finish at Cypress for the Drug Studies Certification program they offer. The entire Human Services department is outstanding. Professor Zager is wise, caring, fair, experienced in the field, and I could sit through any of his lectures and the time just flies by, he is that well-spoken. I have taken classes with Professor Adams as well. He is another extremely knowledgable and experienced professor. This college is pretty awesome, everything from the small campus layout (I don't feel lost, I feel right at home) to the professors, to the student services/financial aid offices. I highly recommend Cypress.

Small school that allows students be themselves. I arrived at CHCP from the Dominican Republic and as soon as all the teachers and counselors saw how good my English was they immediately suggested me to sign a petition and clarify that I didn't need ESL services. I joined a lot of clubs, and they're so much fun. Teachers are well thought out and organized. The Principal is young and smart, super college prepared. And so is every adult that works for this school.
