Summary

Cypress Palm Middle School in Naples, FL, is a public school serving 836 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Collier County School District, and it has recently achieved its highest-ever state ranking, jumping to the 72nd percentile (4 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year.

The school’s most notable strength is its exceptional math program, which consistently outperforms district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, 91% of students scored proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 75% district-wide. This math success is particularly impressive given that Cypress Palm serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (67%) than top-performing nearby schools like North Naples Middle School (30%) and Oakridge Middle School (32%), yet its math scores rival or exceed theirs. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores remain a relative weakness, with proficiency rates at or below the district average. Additionally, chronic absenteeism (20.8%) is higher than the district average (17.4%) and significantly higher than peers like Oakridge (10.8%), which may be linked to the lower ELA performance.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Corkscrew Middle School (4.34 miles away), Cypress Palm outperforms it in nearly every academic metric, particularly in 7th-grade math (73% vs. 69%) and Algebra 1 (91% vs. 86%). While Cypress Palm still trails top-tier schools like North Naples and Oakridge in ELA and science, its rapid upward trajectory—a 128-spot jump in state ranking in one year—is unmatched in the area. The school’s higher per-student spending ($13,569) compared to the district average suggests recent investments in its turnaround, though its larger class sizes (20.3 student-teacher ratio) may pose a challenge for future growth, especially in literacy.
