    Cypress Bay High School Reviews

    Cypress Bay is an amazing high school in almost every aspect. The teachers and staff are always extremely helpful and close to the students, treating everyone with kindness. The school is closed with fences and every student must wear an ID, reassuring everyone of the high level of security. There are different booths in the cafeteria with several options for students to enjoy the food of their choice. The academics are excellent, preparing the students for their future paths in college, work, and their futures. I see the diversity of friend groups and overall friendliness daily. When it comes to sports, the school does amazingly and every student is extremely dedicated and passionate about the teams! The school offers many clubs for everyone to join and/or take charge with officer positions. Cypress Bay has the most school spirit I have ever seen and never stops to amaze me with its new activities and spirit weeks!

    Being one of the largest public schools in the State of Florida, Cypress Bay Highschool remains a tight-knit community with phenomenal staff, administration, and safety standards. Countless of AP, AICE, honors, regular and dual enrollment courses are offered to students which have prepared me adequately for college. Could not have asked for a better high school experience. Go lightning!
    It's a great public high school with amazing opportunities, as well as a diverse environment that allows for everybody to find their place but it can also get very competitive. Take things at your own pace and enjoy high school! Cypress always has something to do, from musicals and coffeehouse events to sports games and dance marathons.
