Summary

Cypress Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 215 students in the Redding Elementary district, currently ranked in the lower half of all California schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 27.3% that is notably higher than nearby schools like Manzanita Elementary (11.2%) and Turtle Bay (12.7%). It serves a high-need population, with 89.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate higher than most comparable schools in the area. Despite these struggles, the school spends $20,479 per student, which is more than many higher-performing neighbors such as Boulder Creek Elementary ($14,300) and maintains a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 19.5 to 1.

There are notable bright spots and inconsistencies in the data. Performance is strong in 3rd grade but drops sharply in 4th and 5th grades, and the school has shown effectiveness in supporting special education students. Its statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years. When compared to schools with similar student demographics, such as Juniper and Shasta Meadows Elementary, which achieve better academic outcomes, there may be opportunities to learn and adopt new strategies to address core issues like attendance and curriculum alignment.
