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 enjoyed my experience at Cypress High School. I've made some of my best memories there and I love a lot of my classes. We are able to do a bunch of labs in my chem and physics classes that have all been extremely fun. One thing that I don't like about the school though is they have some weird and strict rules that no other schools seem to have. I wish we were given more freedom at lunch to leave campus if we want to.

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.
