Cypress High School

Der Sir/ Madam, Thank your for your response. As I mentioned in my previous mail I need to admit my daughter to your school in the next school year. Please advise me in this regard. My daughter,s GPA is not very good at this point of time but certainly it can be upgraded if she is in a better school environment. Thanks. Donald Kaluwadevage

This high school was a great high school. I loved it there. the teachers were awesome, and the principle was just as great. They were very educational there, and helpful, even when you don't attend their school anymore. They're also very friendly. The student's were just great. And the principle tried to be as fair as possible. I would be very happy to send my children to this school. And i would be honored if they did. Because I went to this school myself.

I have a 8th grader who wants to go to Cypress high, can some one give me some updates if this school is great or not.

I think this school is great, I'm in choir and we have lots of performances . One every 2 months! Most everyone is friendly and the teachers are great. I can't see the effects of budget cuts anywhere besides some supplies. Sports are not suffering either, they are great. Teachers are also really good, they challenge us and the ones I got this year are great.

I am a fairly regular substitute teacher at Cypress HS. Budget cuts have forced the cancellation of some programs, but, overall, this is a school with a dedicated core of teachers and the Administration is staunchly in favor of a high quality learning culture.

Most of these review are old. Things have changed. Theatre is gone. Sports are struggling. There is no money to support programs. Tension is high, so patience is thin, for teachers, admin & students. Everything is "teach to the test" to show high ratings while individual attention is almost non-existent. Classroom size is too high (35-40) so even great teachers can't find the time to help. Many good teachers don't agree with the principal so have moved to other schools. There is no money for coaches so sports have gone down hill. The racial division has grown with about 50% asian, so that seems to have caused less parental involvement. I don't see things changin anytime soon.

I am currentlt enrolled at cypress. The School is great. all the teachers care about you and are all willing to help all students any way they can. Dr. Carpenter is a really good at what he does. He makes sure that the students and teachers are do what they need to do. Like he allways says 'Keep is simple'.

I like Cypress High School because the teachers help us learn and they want us to be good in our education and they care deeply about us

. I currently attend this awesome school.By the way they do have a theater program and if the principal didnt care less then why is he there... He also is a good principal because he enforces the dress code and also us parents want our kids to have an education .... he wants the teachers to teach.... he comes into 2 of my classes every day and asks one of the students what they are learning about.. If thats not a caring principal then I don't know who is

Cypress has been in the top 6 percent of the country. It's a school with great academics and an awesome principal. Dr. Ben Carpenter has been there for i think six years now.and i'm just really loving Cypress.
