As a concerned parent, I feel the need to share some honest feedback about Cypress K-8. While the school has potential, there are serious areas that need attention. One major issue is the lack of fairness and equality among staff. Certain teachers clearly show favoritism, recognizing only a select f
Posted by a parent on 6/5/2025This school is a major disaster. From kids putting e cigarettes in kids backpack to teachers not caring about kids being bullied to even teachers hitting students. No teacher, staff, or anyone in this school is worth a dime. The only teacher who has been consistent, caring, and noble is Ms. J Rodrig

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son was attending at this school last year. And my appreciation is that they have good teachers, the after school team is very good and the director Marta Garcia is very involved in the daily activities, she knows the children and their parents. In our case we had no activities at school with the children and no contact with the PTA, I would have liked to meet the communityParent Review3y ago - Snapper Creek Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLOVE this school, administration, security guards and especially the teachers. My son is in the ESE program and has progressed SO MUCH in one year and a half. But i saw the progression in a few months after his start date, very grateful for this school. I love the support, commuication, and care the teachers and staff have towards my child and us (the parents), including on zoom calls. I couldnt be happier with this school.Parent Review4y ago - Instructional Center System Wide

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Christian school demonstrated a persistent pattern of poor leadership and unethical administrative practices that adversely affected both faculty and students. Among the most impactful losses were Mr. and Mrs. Abbott, widely regarded as two of the school’s strongest and most dedicated educators, who were terminated without just cause or transparent explanation. Their dismissal disrupted academic continuity and significantly reduced the quality of instruction. Rather than modeling the values of integrity, fairness, and accountability expected of a faith-based institution, the administration’s actions appeared unjust and unprofessional. Additionally, the school’s ministry operated with limited oversight and unclear practices, raising serious concerns about its credibility and ethical standards. Overall, the institution failed to provide a stable, supportive, and principled educational environment.Parent Review3mo ago - Little Heroes Academy Corporation

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is terrible. My children always say their math teachers is always yelling at them and bullies them. This makes my daughter have a negative impact on her mental heath and I think they should take quick action.Also , the take away recess for children who don’t behave. Recess is meant to have fun and as a therapist this is unbelievable. If children keeep having recess off this can be sued. Lasly, the school administrators favorite students and parents with popularity and financial income. Don’t put your child here.Parent Review9mo ago
