Summary

Cypress K-8 Center is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 376 students in Pre-K through 8th grade, and it stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, particularly in Algebra 1 and Biology 1, where proficiency rates reach 92% and 93% respectively—far exceeding both district and state averages and rivaling top nearby schools like Pinecrest Cove Academy. However, the school shows a dramatic "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern in science: while 5th graders achieve 63% proficiency (above district/state), 8th-grade science plummets to just 29%, a 34-point drop that is much steeper than at nearby K-8 schools like Somerset Palms Academy. This middle school slump is a key area of concern, especially since the school spends a high $18,585 per student—nearly double what Pinecrest Cove Academy spends—yet does not achieve top-tier overall rankings, currently sitting at the 52nd percentile (3 stars) statewide.

On the positive side, Cypress has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.3%, roughly half the Miami-Dade district rate of 28.2%, and it shows a clear upward trend in performance, improving from the 41st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 52nd percentile in 2025-2026. This is a stronger trajectory than some peers, such as Bridgeprep Academy South, which declined over the same period. The school also excels in end-of-course exams, suggesting that its advanced instruction for top students is highly effective, even as general math and reading scores in elementary grades lag behind—for instance, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 56% (below district/state), while 8th-grade math reaches 76% (well above).

For parents, Cypress offers a strong, well-rounded option with excellent advanced coursework and high attendance, but it is not the top academic choice in a competitive area that includes high-performers like Archimedean Academy (98th percentile) and True North Classical Academy At Gateway (99th percentile). The school's high spending per student does not translate into top-tier test scores across the board, and the significant drop in middle school science suggests a need for targeted improvement. Overall, Cypress is a school of contrasts—excelling in some areas while struggling in others—making it a solid but not elite choice in the Miami area.
