Summary

Cypress High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving approximately 2,700 students in grades 9-12 within the Anaheim Union High district in Cypress, California.

The school is a strong performer, consistently ranking in the 80th-90th percentile statewide and significantly outperforming its district's average in core subjects like English and Math. It excels at supporting all students, with particularly high rankings for African American, low-income, and special education populations. Key strengths include a 96% graduation rate and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6%, both of which are better than the district and state averages. It achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than many nearby schools.

When compared to local schools, a clear tier exists: Oxford Academy (a selective magnet school) and Pacifica High are top performers, while Cypress High sits in a strong second tier alongside schools like John F. Kennedy High and Los Alamitos High. It notably outperforms other schools in its own district, such as Magnolia High and Western High. Recent data shows a slight dip in test scores and rankings, a trend that coincides with a growing number of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, suggesting the school community is navigating increased economic needs.
