Cypress Creek Elementary School

My children come home crying every day. They don't like this school and tell me about kids picking on them at school. Teachers seem to think it's boys being boys, but I don't think my children should come home with black eyes. The school has also told us that there isn't much homework given because all the children don't speak English well and they have other responsibilities at home. Our children will be taken out of this school at the end of the year.

My child is in Ms. Shoop's class this year and we have had the worst nightmare dealing with this teacher. Our child comes home with horror stories of this teacher and how she treats the students. Very disrespectful and rude!!!!! Everyday she writes negative things in my childs agenda nothing nice.

Thank God for Mr. Moral!What a great principal. What wonders he has done for this school since Mrs Tierney. But not only him but wonderful teachers and staff as well, the school is like a family. We in Rusking are very fortunate to have this WONDERFUL School, I currently have 2 children attending and recommend this school to everyone! Cypress Creek is the BEST!

My daughter has been going to Cypress Creek Elementary the past 3 years. This year I have noticed quite a difference in her accadmic progress. She has made honor roll the past 3 grading periods. Her second grade teacher was great. I just hope this continues. So far I have been very pleased.

My daughter really enjoyed attending Cypress Creek Elementary. The teachers seemed to meet her needs and were both kind and caring.

First, Principle Aiken is great. He sets the tone for the entire school and nows every parent and child by name. This is the best elementary school I have ever seen. My children's grandmother works there now in the lunchroom and she could not be more pleased either. When we moved to Ruskin from Apollo Beach, my one son was doing horribly at the elementary school in Apollo Beach. As soon as he began at Cypress Creek, the one teacher helped him and he started liking school again...as he went up in grade level, the teacher moved up. My youngest is currently attending there and is also doing very well. I wish more teachers at more schools would stay with their class as they move up in class level.
