Summary

Cypress Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 470 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 57th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Cypress Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

Cypress Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.0% to 34.9%, well above the state and district averages. The school's test scores are consistently below the Osceola district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 43-50%, compared to 51-63% for the district and 56-63% for the state. Additionally, Cypress Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.65% to 67.27%, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Osceola district, such as Central Avenue Elementary, Partin Settlement Elementary, and Mill Creek Elementary, have similar performance characteristics to Cypress Elementary. In contrast, the nearby schools in the Orange County district, such as Wyndham Lakes Elementary, Oakshire Elementary, and Stonewyck Elementary, have significantly higher performance metrics. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at Cypress Elementary and the surrounding Osceola district schools could be crucial for improving student outcomes.
