Cypress Lakes High School

Cypress Lakes High School sits in the heart of the sprawling Katy-Cypress corridor, one of the fastest-growing suburban areas in the Houston metro, where new neighborhoods and young families seem to pop up every few months. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with slightly stronger showings in math and science — a solid fit for families looking for a well-rounded suburban high school experience without the intense pressure of some of the higher-ranked campuses nearby. It's the kind of place that appeals to families planting roots in the area for the long haul, drawn by the affordability and community feel that the Cypress-Fairbanks district is known for across its many campuses.
