Cypress Elementary School

Posted: August 26, 2026

Both of my kids attended Cypress for K-5th and we had the best experience at this school. Really strong community engagement from the families in the area and PTA. The teachers really care about their students and the administrators and everyone in the front office are phenomenal. I can't recommend Cypress enough.

Great school, so many positive attitudes and fun events! Great vibes and I totally felt safe there! Movie nights, family fun nights, and art shows and many more! Plus, Miss Buttler the music teacher plans amazing plays for all grade levels, and a big play for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders! definitely recommend!

This school incorporated the 7 Habits which had a positive outcome

I personally experienced the support of this school in a bullying incident, and they handled it very well.

Excellent. My only issue at this school was the math instruction was weak. This affected my weaker math children through high school, unfortunately. It's a problem at all the schools, though. Too many teachers are teaching math by rote and don't really understand the basics, which hurts the kids' understanding as well.

There are always a few teachers that aren't great, but we experienced excellent teachers for the most part.

All students were included as much as possible, and the children at this school were very accepting of all students regardless of disability. This school has great support for dislexia and many other disabilities. It may not be the best school for children with autism, but every school in our district has certain strengths.

Wonderful experience. We moved to the neighborhood for this school and never regretted that decision. It was a great environment for our girls to learn in!

Amazing, caring teachers! They still remember our girls names when we see them in the community.

These kids come out with great leadership skills and community spirit.

Posted: January 8, 2019

We have found the leadership to be effective and extremely knowledgeable.

Every time we had an issue with bullying, it was addressed quickly and fairly.

We enjoyed Cypress for 8 years and loved all the parent involvement!

Both of our boys attended and graduated 5th grade from Cypress...we loved every year of it! There was a 7 year age difference between them and we can effectively say the schools environment was equally the same...supportive staff, incredible teachers, compassionate community!

The students are very good kids, and their parents are even better. Staff teaches building character and parents reinforce it.

I have a lot of respect for anyone in a leadership role at a school. Everyone is doing their best to make sure students feel safe and are learning, most importantly.

I haven’t had any experience with this personally.

Posted: May 20, 2018

I have not experienced this personally, but any friend of mine that has, says it’s dealt with appropriately.

We’ve loved our time at Cypress. In fact, we moved to this neighborhood so our kids could go to Cypress. Great community, excellent staff, friendly people. Lots of fun activities planned for students and families to become more of a Cypress family. I highly recommend this school!

My son has had a nice introduction to grade appropriate homework. His teacher is great at communicating to the parents what is expected.

Posted: May 20, 2018

We have had a great experience with all of our teachers thus far. I hear positive comments from my friends on their children’s teachers as well!

Posted: May 16, 2017

When a teacher mocked and intimidated my child, nothing was done. I cannot speak for bullying between students.

If you are a more advanced kid, there is nothing here for you. The Quest program is poorly managed and unorganized, causing more frustration than learning. The kids only stay in it because they want to pre-qualify for Quest in Middle School.

The school does that "Leader in Me program." Some kids benefit, but most mock it, and parents find it to be a huge waste of money. We could have a great STEM program or improved computer lab for what they spend!

The homework is often worksheets. No project based learning or higher-level thinking.

This school is a complete mess from the top down. The teacher turnover is quite high, and there are constant issues between teachers and administration. There are few good teachers, but most are terrible. The first couple years, teachers are kind and work hard. The teachers are allowed to be pretty unprofessional with parents as well- friending select parents on social media and hanging out with some socially-well documented on social media. It has caused many parents to express concern about professional relationships. The administrations poor hiring and pressure to have students memorize for standardized testing cause this school to be very, very poor from 3rd grade on. Middle school math teachers in the district also label it as a school that does not prepare their students for middle school math for both PACE and grade-level. UNACCEPTABLE. I have 1 child finishing here this year, and I am pulling my other children to go to another school because I cannot fathom going through this any longer. Once STAAR is over, they just watch movies and have recess. Pathetic. The issues, both academic and social, raised with the principal always starts with a meeting where she promises to "investigate," but when you do hear back, she claims it to be "inconclusive" or "going to change immediately." I can tell you, this has never repaired the problem, or improved the over experience for students. The school also lacks opportunities that other, similar income schools in the area have, like a spelling bee, or Math Decathlon. If you value education, and your child's interested in more that just an opportunity to join running club, do yourself a favor, and avoid this school.

Great school and teachers. Outstanding environment. Different programs and activities.
Fun place and family oriented. Good localization also.
