Summary:
Cypress, California, is served by eight public schools across two districts, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade, with five elementary schools in the Cypress Elementary district and one middle and two high schools in the Anaheim Union High district.
The standout school is Oxford Academy, a grades 7-12 school consistently ranked among the top five in the entire state, with exceptional test scores and a near-perfect graduation rate. Among elementary schools, Margaret Landell Elementary is the highest performer, ranking in the top 100 statewide. Cypress High also shows strong results with a graduation rate well above the state average.
Overall, the elementary schools in Cypress generally post stronger test scores than the secondary schools. A key strength for all schools is very low chronic absenteeism, which is linked to better student outcomes. It's noteworthy that higher per-student spending does not always correlate with higher test scores, suggesting other factors like program quality are vital. Parents will find a range of school environments, with some schools having much higher rates of students qualifying for free lunch than others, but all maintaining graduation rates above 96% at the high school level.
