Summary

Cypress Elementary is a public elementary school in Tulare, California, serving 549 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Tulare City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests compared to the Tulare City and California state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.4% of Cypress Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 33.85% for Tulare City and 48.81% for California. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% to 24.9% over the past few years.
