Cypress creek also known as cy creek is a very unique school that offers many classes and extracurricular programs for their students.

Cypress creek is great in its own ways but also bad. The assistant principals are really helpful but some of the teacher don't even teach the lesson and expect you to figure it out on your own. And will get mad if you as for help. There's a lot of fights and jumping that goes on and if your in the vicinity while that's happening you will get pepper sprayed even if your just walking by. I think they need to have a better thought out plan before they handle situations like that cause ur hurting innocent people aswell. There are some really great teachera but also bad so it just depends.
