The have been some complaints raised regarding campus security and conduct. Frequent brawls and the state of the bathrooms have been raised in some reviews. One student stated, "The best things have been the great teachers who try their absolute best to assist and accommodate students... However, lots of fighting here."

The best part about Cypress lakes high school is definitely the diversity and groups sports such as swimming and water polo that I've been apart of throughout my entire high school years, I really like the atmosphere it brings and team work it provides. Me personally I would also like to see the administration being more active whenever a problem occurs on school grounds or whenever it comes to academics succession.

Overall of my experience at Cypress Lake high School was not really great or bad.Cypress Lakes High School is a good school with many students and different activities. The teachers help students learn, and there are sports, clubs, and events to join. Some students think the school is fun and supportive, while others feel it can be crowded and challenging. Like any school, the experience depends on the teachers, friends, and how involved you are.
