Summary:
The Cypress Elementary district consists of six high-performing K-6 schools, all ranking in the top quarter of California elementary schools and collectively serving over 3,200 students in a district ranked in the 88th percentile statewide.
Margaret Landell Elementary is the clear standout, consistently earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the state's top 2% with the highest test scores in English, math, and science. Other strong options include Frank Vessels Elementary and Juliet Morris Elementary, which also achieve 4-5 star ratings. While all district schools perform well above state averages, A. E. Arnold Elementary, Clara J. King Elementary, and Steve Luther Elementary have lower proficiency rates, showing there is notable performance variation within the district.
Key factors linked to higher academic performance include lower rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, as seen at the top-performing schools. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not correlate with better results in this district. The district maintains an excellent overall attendance record, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the state average, which contributes to its strong academic standing.
