Summary

Swenke Elementary in Cypress, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 892 students in grades PK-5 within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools for nearly a decade.

Swenke stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in Reading (80-83%) and Mathematics (66-77%) far exceeding both district and state averages. For example, 5th-grade Math proficiency is 27 points higher than the state average. The school also earns top ratings for nearly all student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, showing its effectiveness across diverse populations. However, a notable weakness is its Gifted and Talented program, which dropped to the 46th percentile in recent years, suggesting a need for more enrichment for high-achieving students. Nearby, Pope Elementary (4.16 miles away) is an even higher-performing neighbor, ranking in the 98th-99th percentile, while Keith Elementary (0.93 miles away) also performs well but serves a higher-need population.

In stark contrast, Roberts Road Elementary (3.56 miles away) in the Waller Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the bottom half of Texas schools, with test scores a fraction of Swenke's, highlighting how district boundaries can correlate with vastly different outcomes. Swenke's long-term consistency—never dropping below the 94th percentile in a decade—makes it a reliably excellent choice for families in the area.
