"Have noticed the school is not responsive to parents. When a teacher or counselor is called they do not call back. Also they count the student absent when the student is present. I am from Missouri .. teachers know who are in their classes and are more responsive to parents."

"I have found Cypress Springs to be a good school. I have been here for all three years and I am currently a junior. Although I cannot compare experiences at this school to those of another highschool, there isn't much I would complain about. The "problems" we have had in the past are fixed now I believe: our athletic coordinator has been replaced and our principle is retiring. Cy-Springs is what you make it, my GPA is higher than any of my friends from those "better" schools, and we came in 5th in district in academic UIL while Cy-Ranch placed next to last! Our ROTC, Panteras, boys basketball, and boys soccer team are pretty respectable, if not top in district. (I'm pretty sure our new athletic coordinator will improve our other sports.) The teachers in K-level and AP courses are very good and very qualified. However, there is lack of school spirit and patriotism in much of the ignorant (unfortunately, mostly On-level) students, and they are what makes our school look bad. If you're in mostly (not necessarily all) upper-level classes, you are better than fine. Cy-Springs really isn't that bad of a school. :)"

"I am currently enrolled in my second year at Cypress Springs as a Junior. For students that are willing to push themselves, this school is fantastic. The Advanced Placement teachers are thoughtful and intelligent; they are dedicated to their students' success. Of course, if a student does not push themselves, they will not have a good time. I've been enrolled in a few "On-Level" courses, mostly to fill requirements set by the district, and the experience is much less enjoyable. Students in On-Level (and I do not mean to offend or generalize, this is just my experience) are oftentimes loud and disrespectful to the point where teachers give up almost entirely. Walking in the hallways is a nightmare, as the school rather crowded. The administration often leaves a great deal to be desired. I recommend joining the debate team; we have a very strong program, with very talented individuals. This school is what you make of it. If you want to succeed, you will. If you do not, you will be left in the dust."

"I have not enjoyed my daughter attending this school at all. Trying to talk to the administration or the teachers is a waste of time. They don't seem to care or want to work with you for the better of your child. I sat in the classroom and watched a teacher "teach." There wasn't really any instructions going on in the classroom. I asked several times for my child to be moved to a stronger math teacher and had no luck. The lady in charge of instruction only seems to care about herself and made no effort to monitor the type of instruction students are receiving. The administrators don't want to ruffle any feathers when it comes to their teachers and don't listen to the students or parents. Being an educator myself and in the administrative field it is disheartening that the employees of this school seem to care so little."
