The best parts of my schooling were doing color guard and being able to speak with most teachers about assignments and exams without feeling like they wanted to be somewhere else. The worst part of my experience was when they were doing construction on the school kept pushing the finish date to later years. I also did not like the communication and stress that came with not knowing if my color guard class was considering a PE class anymore due to the frequent changes in curriculum and how we had to take a substitute PE class right before rehearsal.

I found my experience at my high school very reward in terms of connecting with other people and building the habits and skills that I have today. For me though, I found myself being the one that had to reach out for opportunities rather than the school providing them for me. I found the administration really lacking in how they were biased towards certain students and just the overall sense of fairness.

The best parts of this school is that people here are nice and there are many classes that can be help with colleges. Facilities are nice as well and people from there will help students as much as they can. They provide many resources so the students does not fall behind. Though, there are some lacking points in this school like on how they spends on their money or the food is lacking variety. Some changes I would like to see is the food menu as it is still not the best and more classes if they can.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The environment was bad, teachers were bad, and the school in general. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Cypress High School is truly one of the worst schools to attend. The teachers that I had when attending were horrible. I have never felt comfortable or safe at Cypress High. I attended 4 years of high school here, and I, as a person of color, faced so much racism not from the students but from the t...

School isn't not helpful. My child had problems at school and needed help. This school is only obsessed with money and has absolutely no interest in students and parents. And it creates a gap between students and parents.
