Summary

Cypress K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school located in Miami, Florida, serving 399 students in grades PK-8 and part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state.

Cypress K-8 Center consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages on standardized tests, including 100% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 in 2024-2025, compared to 66% for Miami-Dade and 60% for Florida. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.3% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024. Cypress K-8 Center also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.82% to 83.33% over the past few years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Cypress K-8 Center's performance is generally stronger, both in terms of test scores and school rankings. For example, Archimedean Academy, a public charter school, consistently ranks among the top 20 elementary schools in Florida and outperforms Cypress K-8 Center in most academic areas. However, Cypress K-8 Center's high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, as it is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Cypress K-8 Center has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby charter schools, such as Bridgeprep Academy South.
