Cypress Creek High School

Teachers care little to none about you and don't give you a reason to excel. I've gone through 3 highschools and this one is by far the worst.

I have 3 children- 2 graduated from Cy-Creek and youngest is a junior. I've experienced on-level and k-level classes. I agree, in the K-level classes, the teaching was awesome, yet you must look at the fact, students in K-level classes are there because THEY WANT TO LEARN. On-level classes are a combination of kids who do want to learn, but also the students that just don't care. Because of the latter attitude, it distracts from the entire learning environment. Schools are not allowed to discipline students like they did when I was in school. ( ...and by the way - I AM A CY-CREEK GRADUATE MYSELF!) Todays society has allowed students to get away with not showing respect to their superiors, whether it is a teacher, neighbor or even their own parents. This has crippled teaches ability to control the classroom, therefore limiting the quanity/quality of what is taught.

The academic standards at CCHS, once the flagship Senior High School of the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District, have deteriorated over time; CCHS used to be a recognized school, but for the past few years it has been classified as 'Academically Acceptable' by the TEA. While it offers many AP and other upper level courses, those in on level courses suffer from teachers who do not care about actually educating students; this problem is exacerbated by the falling socioeconomic status of the student population. I feel that the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District has gotten too big for its own good. I was privileged to know the principal, Mr. Jim Wells, personally and he even referred to me, several times, as a product of the Cy-Fair School District. For those who must attend CCHS, stay in upper level and AP courses and you should get into a good university.

My son graduated CyCreek last spring and is working on a Mechanical Engineering degree at University of Texas - Austin. I was overall very happy with the quality of teachers and courses he took during his four years, and he has so far seemed well prepared for his course work at University of Texas. The key seems to be staying mostly in the 'K' and AP level courses as they prepare you better for college but also seem to have more opportunities with the teaching staff. The renovations on-going have made the school a mess, but they really don't have a choice and the school will be better prepared for additional students when it is completed. My daughter current attends the school and overall enjoys it and is being challenged in her classes.
