Admission and zones
Because Cypress Ridge has no zone, a seat there comes through the school’s application process, not a home address. The school’s School Lottery page holds the current rules and dates; the district’s and the school’s websites could not be read for this page on Oct. 8, so call the front office to confirm.
Every Clermont address is zoned for another district elementary or K-8 school. On the district’s 2025 elementary zone map, the city’s address points fall in the zones of Lost Lake Elementary, Aurelia M. Cole Academy, Sawgrass Bay Elementary, Grassy Lake Elementary in Minneola, Minneola Horizon Academy and Pine Ridge Elementary. Middle and high school follow the family’s home address. Which school each part of the city is zoned for is in our neighborhoods guide.
Rezoning. We found no change approved by the Lake County School Board to Cypress Ridge’s status after the 2025 zone maps; ask the district.
