Summary

Wells Elementary in Cypress, TX, is a high-performing school serving 1,133 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 6% of Texas elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

Wells Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in 4th Grade Reading, where 86.12% of students are proficient—a remarkable 25.78 percentage points higher than the district average and 33.08 points above the state average. The school also demonstrates strong performance for male students, who rank in the 96th percentile statewide, and effectively serves students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 92nd percentile. While Wells is surrounded by a cluster of high-performing schools like Pope Elementary and McGown Elementary, it achieves top-tier results with comparatively lower per-pupil spending ($7,541) than its peers, indicating efficient resource allocation. However, math performance shows some inconsistency, with 4th Grade Math being a strength (84.76% proficient) while 3rd and 5th Grade Math scores, though above district and state averages, are comparatively lower.

Wells Elementary has maintained a state ranking in the 94th percentile or higher for the last six years, though it has seen a slight dip from its peak in 2018-2019. The school serves a relatively affluent community, with only 14.92% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Andre Elementary (69.33%) and Postma Elementary (49%). This demographic profile, combined with the school's consistent excellence, makes Wells a standout choice for families seeking a strong academic foundation in a supportive environment.
