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.

The best part about cypress is the community because there are all different types of people that come together to create a great environment for us students. The worst parts about my experience at cypress is that a lot of the time that should be spent teaching us is spent on other things that aren't helping us grow and learn. I would like to see that wasted time being used in more beneficial ways.

A lot of really nice teachers who really care about your well-being, but also a handful of bad teachers who are extremely immature. They abuse their power depending on their mood and how students treat them, and don't understand the gravity of their influence on children and long-term effects. But that's how it is for any high school. It isn't a 5-star school but I wouldn't mind sending my children to this school if I had any.

The worst part of my experience was my counselor. She was not very attentive and only put in effort for kids who were failing. I received very little support. The best parts of my experience were the teachers who genuinely seemed to care about their jobs and making the classes fun. I would like to see the administration change with newer counselors.

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.
