Summary

Cypress Springs Elementary in Driftwood, TX, is a high-performing school serving 697 students in grades PK-5, part of the top-rated Dripping Springs Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional 5th-grade reading scores, with 91.09% of students proficient in the most recent testing year—well above the district average and the highest among nearby schools like Mills Elementary (87.7%) and Bear Creek Elementary (84.21%). However, math performance is inconsistent: while 3rd graders score well above the district, 4th graders lag behind, with only 50.38% proficient compared to the district average of 59.35%. This "math gap" is a notable contrast to nearby schools like Rooster Springs Elementary and Dripping Springs Elementary, which show more balanced math scores across grades. Additionally, the school has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past four years, dropping from the 94th to the 86th percentile, while Rooster Springs Elementary has maintained a higher, more stable ranking.

For parents, it's also worth noting that Cypress Springs serves a very affluent community, with only 1.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—the lowest rate among all nearby schools. The school excels in supporting its Special Education students (92nd percentile) but shows volatile performance for Multi-racial and Gifted and Talented students. While it competes well with top Austin ISD schools like Clayton Elementary and Baldwin Elementary in reading, those schools often match or exceed it in math. Overall, Cypress Springs is a strong choice, but families should be aware of the math inconsistency and the school's recent ranking trend.
