The best part of my experience was the events and the staff and teachers. Some of the events like the pep rallies I can't intend because sensory issues so they've a room for people like me. When I moved in the middle of second semester last year, I was so overwhelmed and ended up crying. So, I was noticed by staff and brought me to the front office. They brought me tissues and comforted me a little and left me to compose myself. I thank and remember them for their help and kindness till this day. I only thing I would change is letting certain people know where the room for people to go to for pep rallies because I didn't know where to go for it though I luckily found it.

I can't say I've exactly had a normal high school experience with COVID then Hurricane Ian, but I'd say Cypress has been the best school I've gone to in terms of communication. However, a lot of our teachers ended up quitting or retiring, leading many new teachers to take over AP courses which made learning challenging.

Overall the experience was okay, all of the teachers I have, or had, were very down to earth and actually enjoyed their job. The students on the other hand are not that well-mannered. People get into fights almost everyday, and smoking is a problem. we have added more security, and other procedures to help.

Under leadership of the previous principal the school received a grade A for 5 out of 7 years. With the current principal at the reigns, the school has never received an A...

Less than ideal. Pretty awful. I didn't learn a whole lot and they did not prepare me for college adequately. I want better for my kids.
