Summary

Byrd Elementary in Cypress, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 1,138 students in grades PK through 5 within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This school stands out as a top-tier option in the area, significantly outperforming many nearby schools like Duryea Elementary (25th percentile) and Andre Elementary (30th percentile), while competing directly with other high-flyers such as Rennell Elementary (97th percentile) and McGown Elementary (98th percentile). What makes Byrd particularly impressive is its consistent grade-level proficiency, achieving above 70% in both Reading and Math across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th), a feat not matched by all its high-performing neighbors.

Byrd Elementary excels in supporting all students, with a special focus on equity. The school ranks in the 95th percentile for serving low socio-economic status (SES) students, a remarkable achievement that outpaces schools with similar demographics, like Birkes Elementary (86th percentile overall). Additionally, Byrd ranks in the 97th percentile for African American students and the 94th percentile for English Language Learner (ELL) students, demonstrating that it systematically closes achievement gaps. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Duryea Elementary and Andre Elementary, which struggle with ELL performance, ranking in the bottom half of the state for this group.

One of Byrd's standout features is its science program, with 5th-grade science proficiency at 77.78% for the 2024-2025 school year—nearly double the district average and 2.6 times the state average. This strong STEM foundation is built in the early grades and sets Byrd apart even from top peers like McGown Elementary (76.26%) and Warner Elementary (70.83%). With a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, Byrd achieves these exceptional results through highly effective instructional practices and school culture, making it a model of academic excellence and a benchmark for what a public elementary school can achieve in the Cypress area.
