Summary

Cypress Elementary is a mid-sized public school serving 558 students in grades K-5 within the Covina-Valley Unified School District in Covina, California.

Academically, Cypress shows a mixed performance: its test scores in English and Math are below the district average but close to the state average, while it excels in Science, outperforming both. The school has shown significant ups and downs in its statewide ranking over the past decade but appears to be in a recovery phase. A notable strength is its effectiveness with certain student groups, as it ranks well above average for Special Education and Hispanic students compared to other California schools. However, a major challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%, which is well above both district and state averages and is a persistent concern.

When compared to other schools in Covina-Valley Unified, such as higher-performing Barranca Elementary or Rowland Avenue Elementary, Cypress has similar levels of economic need among students but different academic outcomes and a much higher absentee rate. Interestingly, Cypress spends more per student than these neighboring schools, suggesting resources are being allocated differently. Despite its challenges within its own district, Cypress performs significantly better than schools with similar demographics in the neighboring Azusa Unified district, highlighting the importance of district context and support.
