Cypress Springs Elementary

Summary:

Cypress Springs Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Driftwood, Texas, serving 611 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dripping Springs Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 32nd out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cypress Springs Elementary consistently ranks among the top Texas elementary schools, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 84.54% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 73.98% for the Dripping Springs ISD and 48.85% for the state of Texas. The school also has a higher percentage of White (76.1%) and Asian (2.95%) students, as well as a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (3.76%) compared to the state and district averages.

While Cypress Springs Elementary outperforms the other elementary schools in the Dripping Springs ISD, when compared to some of the top-performing elementary schools in the Austin Independent School District, such as Mills, Kiker, and Clayton, its academic performance, while still strong, is not as dominant. This suggests the need for further analysis to ensure equitable access and opportunities for all students in the Dripping Springs ISD.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
