My daughter graduated this year. She attended Cy Woods the three years it has been open. We were able to compare it with Cy Fair where my son graduated and daughter attended her first year. Cy Woods has a outstanding atlethics deparment. Many teachers are young and do not have as much to offer as

Give this school a few years and it will be the best in the district provided the principal is replaced or recognizes she is not in middle school anymore.

My daughter attend Cy-Woods the 1st two years it was open and ASKED to transfer to a private school due to the poor academics.

CyWoods is one of the newer high school campuses in CyFair ISD and just graduated its first class of 920+ seniors. One strength is student diversity and talent. The campus draws primarily from several upper income neighborhoods in NW Harris County. 'Woods' excells with above level students, and several

Because of the large enrollment, a smaller percentage participate in athletics than would be true of a moderately-sized campus. The campus has poorer results when dealing with average, at-risk, or economically disadvantaged students. Based on my child's observations, the school does not have a handle on drug use in the general population or parts of the athletic program. The 06-09 principal came from middle school and has not shown strong leadership. She is largely unresponsive to genuine parent conerns. Overall a positive high school experience. Go Wildcats!

I believe that the adminstration do what they can. A couple of marginal experiences with teachers that are either too set in their ways or too inexperienced, but that's probably common at any HS. The biggest beef I have with the school is simply the number of students. My son has not even been

As a parent of a student at Cypress Woods I can assure you that every student does not love this school.
