Cypress Creek High's first A highlights Wesley Chapel grade report

WESLEY CHAPEL — The last few years, Cypress Creek High School has been excruciatingly close to earning its first A grade from the state.
This year, it finally broke through.
When the Florida Department of Education released its annual school grades last week, the Coyotes had their first A grade after five straight B’s since opening in 2017.
“We were just completely ecstatic,” said principal Carin Hetzler-Nettles. “We had an inkling from the calculations that we had done, but you never know until it’s official. So we were beside ourselves excited because we worked incredibly hard to earn that A grade.”
And not only that, but one could also argue the grade was more like an A-plus. Cypress Creek was the second-highest scoring regular high school in Pasco County, behind only Sunlake.
For Hetzler-Nettles, who opened Cypress Creek in 2017, the A is a significant milestone. But not her first.
She was principal at Wesley Chapel High from 2009-2016, where she inherited a D school. Her first year at the school, it improved to a B, and the next year in 2011, the school received an A grade. It was Wesley Chapel’s first-ever, and only, A grade.
“When we turned that around to a B, that was an incredible accomplishment,” Hetzler-Nettles said. “It didn’t even matter that we didn’t get to an A. But then the next year to get that A, that was fantastic.”
She said it feels the same at Cypress Creek, where a string of B’s were a positive, but the A was the ultimate goal.
She credits the grade bump to a schoolwide literacy initiative with an emphasis on annotating text, as well as a lot of spiral reviews (revisiting already learned material) in English Language Arts and math.
A math coach and significant improvements in English among the lower grades also helped played pivotal roles, the principal said.
The A did come at a cost for Hetzler-Nettles — lunch for her administrative staff this week, a tab she was more than happy to pick up.
“When the school gets back, we certainly will have some kind of fun celebration for our staff to thank them for all they do,” she said.
Cypress Creek’s first A highlighted another strong year for Wesley Chapel high schools. Wiregrass Ranch received its sixth straight A, a nice gift for retiring principal Robyn White, and Wesley Chapel had its seventh straight B.
Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation kept alive its streak of receiving an A every year since opening in 2023. And on the same campus, the Kirkland K-8 school received its first grade ever, also an A.
John Long led the middle schools with another A, keeping it perfect since opening in 2007, while Cypress Creek and Weightman middle schools each picked their fourth straight B’s.
Two elementary schools in Wesley Chapel picked up A’s — Sand Pine Elementary, which dropped to a B last year after 11 straight years of A’s, returned to the A level, while Seven Oaks had its seventh straight A.
But there were some other highlights. Double Branch, Veterans and Quail Hollow elementary schools all improved from C’s to B’s this year, joining Wiregrass Elementary.
It was Double Branch’s first B or higher since 2019.
Other elementary schools saw a dip — New River received its first D ever following five straight years of C’s, and Watergrass dropped from a B to a C.
Among charter schools, Pinecrest Academy, located in Avalon Park, and Union Park, were both A’s, while Innovation Prep graded out at a B.
