Summary

Cypress Creek High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 3,239 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD). While the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance has seen a decline in recent years, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and falling in the statewide rankings from 396 out of 1,777 Texas high schools in 2016-2017 to 938 out of 1,974 in 2024-2025.

Cypress Creek High School performs well for its White and Gifted and Talented student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 40% of Texas high schools, respectively. However, the school struggles with its English Language Learner (ELL) and Multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas high schools. The school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across all STAAR EOC (End of Course) exams, with the largest gaps in Algebra I and English I/II Reading, though it performs better in U.S. History.

Compared to nearby schools, Cypress Creek High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below its fellow CFISD schools, such as Cy-Fair High School and Cypress Falls High School. However, it significantly outperforms the nearby charter school, Premier H.S.-Houston (Champions). The nearby Klein ISD schools, such as Klein Cain High School and Klein High School, tend to outperform Cypress Creek High School across various metrics.
