GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Cypress falls was a nice school that was preppy and nice to attend. It wasn't too diverse at the time I attended but I'm sure now it's much different.

The best part of Cy Falls is the diversity of the students and the great teachers! The worst part of Cypress Falls would be the drug use and lack of safety. I would like to see more resource officers or a more proactive approach to fights/disruptions.

My overall experience at cypress falls high school has been great. There are so many heart warming memories that this school holds for me whether they are from my amazing teachers or the friends that I made along the way. Though every school has something they could improve on, I think that Cy Falls is doing a great job caring for their students.

The athletics and fine arts programs are so great. The academics are also very good. The principal is so hands-on. I really don't understand some of the people that give bad reviews lol.

Positive experience! It takes a village to raise a child. The teachers are highly dedicated and care about the success of the kids. They spend more time with our kids than we do especially if the kids are involved in extracurricular activities. At the end of the day, parents also have to be involved...

Cypress Falls administrators do little to nothing to aid their students. They also cannot keep up with their students and never call or email back during critical times. The director of instruction specifically is horrible, she doesn't try at all to assist the students and would rather blame her dec...
