Summary

Cypress Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 572 students in the Fontana Unified School District, operating in a high-needs community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in California. Proficiency rates in English, math, and science are less than half those of nearby schools like Beech Avenue Elementary and Dolores Huerta International Academy, despite serving students with similar economic backgrounds. A major contributing factor is chronic absenteeism; at 30.7%, the rate of students missing too much school is notably higher than at most neighboring schools and is strongly correlated with lower academic performance across the district.

Despite these broad struggles, the school shows a notable strength in supporting its English Language Learner students, who perform significantly better compared to their peers statewide. However, this success has not translated to overall improvement, and math scores show a particularly concerning drop as students advance in grade. The wide variation in performance among nearby schools in Fontana Unified, such as the much higher scores at Date Elementary, indicates that school-level practices can make a substantial difference even within the same community.
