Summary

Cypress Run Alternative Center is a public alternative school located in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving grades KG-12 with a total enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Broward District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite Cypress Run Alternative Center's consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88% to 89.7% in recent years, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 76.6%. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 3% to 19% in English Language Arts and 9% to 19% in Math, compared to the state averages of 55% to 60% and 50% to 57%, respectively. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.35% to 86.53% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Cypress Run Alternative Center's performance is generally consistent with other alternative schools in the area, such as Pine Ridge Alternative Center, Eagles Nest Charter Academy, and Cross Creek School, which also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the high per-student spending at Cypress Run Alternative Center, ranging from $32,340 to $70,913 in recent years, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below state and district averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student performance at this school.
