CYPRESS ACADEMY

Cypress Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Orleans Parish school district, located in New Orleans, LA with about 153 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Cypress Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
