Cypress Palm Middle School stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (63.57%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 16.63% to 76.19% Hispanic. The school excels in certain subject areas, outperforming the state and district averages in EOC/Algebra 1 (89% proficient or better vs. 55% state and 67% district) and EOC/Civics (63% proficient or better vs. 67% state and 68% district). However, the school underperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 46% to 53% for ELA and 31% to 63% for Math. Additionally, Cypress Palm Middle School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.5% to 28.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools like Pine Ridge Middle School and East Naples Middle School.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.39% to 72.09%, suggests a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population compared to the nearby schools, which range from 25.36% to 65.79%. Over time, Cypress Palm Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 329 out of 997 Florida middle schools in 2015-2016 to 612 out of 1,177 in 2022-2023, with a current rating of 2 out of 5 stars. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased significantly, from 5.7% in 2019-2020 to 28.0% in 2021-2022, which may be a concern and require further investigation.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
