For the fourth consecutive year, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is the largest Recognized school district in Texas.

Today, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) confirmed that an appeal was granted and CFISD's accountability rating was changed to Recognized. The increase in rating came as a result of an appeal to recalculate  the TAKS science passing percentage for Dean Middle School. The decision changed the campus' accountability rating to Academically Acceptable.

“It is an incredible honor to be deemed the largest Recognized district in the state of Texas for the fourth consecutive year,” said Dr. Mark Henry, superintendent of schools. “We are pleased with TEA’s decision to grant our appeal for a rating change that more accurately reflects the continual improvement and performance from all CFISD students.”
