Summary

Cypress Elementary School in Kissimmee, FL, is a public school serving 455 students in grades PK-5 within the Osceola County School District, and it is currently on a strong upward trajectory after a period of decline.

The most exciting news for parents is the school’s remarkable turnaround. After a low point in the 2022-2023 school year, Cypress has improved its state ranking for three consecutive years, now sitting in the 31st percentile with a 2-star rating. This positive trend is driven by standout performance in the 5th grade, which significantly outperformed both the district and state averages in English Language Arts (65% proficient) and Math (67% proficient) in the most recent school year. In fact, Cypress’s 5th graders scored higher than all nearby schools in both subjects, including those in the higher-performing Orange County district like Wyndham Lakes Elementary and Stonewyck Elementary. The school also boasts a lower chronic absenteeism rate (28%) compared to the district average (34.9%) and nearby schools like Central Avenue Elementary (43.9%), indicating a more consistent student attendance that supports academic growth.

While Cypress is clearly improving, it’s important to note that the school’s high per-student spending of $15,290—the highest among all nearby schools—has not yet translated into top-tier performance across all grades. For instance, the current 4th-grade class lags behind the 5th graders, particularly in ELA. This suggests that the school’s investment may be paying off, but it will be crucial to see if the younger students can replicate the 5th grade’s success. Overall, Cypress is a school on the rise, offering a promising environment for families seeking a school that is actively improving and showing strong results in its upper grades.
