What Parents Should Know

Test scores at Cypress Run Alternative Center sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.
At 9.8:1 students to teachers, Cypress Run Alternative Center sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
