Summary

Cypress Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Port Richey, Florida, serving 595 students in grades PK-5. While part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 40 out of 67 districts in the state, Cypress Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to both district and state averages.

The school's key challenges include high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.0% to 34.9% over the past few years, as well as significantly lower test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state. Additionally, Cypress Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, between 61.51% and 68.22%, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at the school, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Cypress Elementary to nearby schools in the Pasco District, the differences become even more apparent. For instance, Plato Academy Trinity Charter School and Dayspring Jazz, both charter schools within the district, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Cypress Elementary. This suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to address the key areas of concern, such as improving attendance and providing additional academic support.
