Summary

Hamilton Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in Cypress, TX, serving 999 students within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd). The school has a long track record of academic excellence, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. Its greatest strength is reading instruction, with proficiency rates across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (81%, 81%, and 85%) dramatically higher than both district and state averages. For example, 5th-grade reading proficiency is 85.47%, compared to the district's 66.24% and the state's 58.47%.

While Hamilton is a clear academic leader in its immediate area, outperforming nearby schools like Adam Elementary, Black Elementary, Matzke Elementary, Millsap Elementary, and Moore Elementary by a wide margin, it is not the highest-ranked school in the vicinity. That honor goes to Sampson Elementary (2.9 miles away), which consistently ranks in the 97th-98th percentile and outperforms Hamilton in nearly every subject. Interestingly, Hamilton sits on a performance border with Tomball Independent School District (Isd), a top-tier district ranked in the 97th percentile. While Hamilton is a top performer in CFISD, its performance is more comparable to the average schools in Tomball ISD, such as Lakewood Elementary.

Hamilton demonstrates strong effectiveness across all student subgroups, earning 5 stars for its work with Female, Male, African American, Hispanic, and White students. The school has shown remarkable progress with its low socio-economic status (SES) population, jumping from the 69th percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 89th percentile (4 stars) by 2025-2026. English Language Learners (ELL) also saw a dramatic turnaround, rising from the 40th percentile (2 stars) to the 71st percentile (4 stars) over the same period. A notable area for improvement is math, where scores, while still above district and state averages, lag behind reading proficiency. The school operates efficiently, with per-student spending ($8,859) lower than many lower-performing CFISD neighbors, indicating effective resource allocation and strong school leadership.
