Cypress K-8 Center

Summary:

Cypress K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 390 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress K-8 Center stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and civics. The school outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida averages in several key areas, including 81% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC and 80% proficiency in Civics EOC, compared to 61% and 70% for Miami-Dade, respectively. Additionally, 74% of 6th-grade students at Cypress K-8 Center are proficient or better in math on the FAST assessment, surpassing the Miami-Dade and Florida averages of 60% and 56%. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17% compared to nearby schools may be an area of concern.

While Cypress K-8 Center serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (97.69%) and has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.82%) than some nearby charter schools, such as Bridgeprep Academy South (1.32%) and Pinecrest Cove Academy (55.23%), the school's strong academic performance is noteworthy. However, the nearby charter schools, like Archimedean Academy, generally outperform Cypress K-8 Center in terms of test scores and statewide rankings, suggesting the charter school model may be more effective in this area.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
