School Overview

Cypress Run Alternative/ESE is a specialized educational facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida, operating under the Broward County Public Schools district. The school is specifically designed to serve students who require alternative learning environments or specialized educational support. Its mission focuses on providing a structured, supportive setting for students whose needs may not be fully met in a traditional comprehensive high school environment.

The program typically integrates academic instruction with behavioral and emotional support, often catering to students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or those referred through alternative placement processes. By emphasizing small class sizes and a personalized approach, Cypress Run aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral obstacles, recover credits, and work toward graduation or a successful transition back to their home schools.
