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.”

Recently, Tipps Elementary School teacher Ann Desart was surprised by the “A Day Made Better” representatives courtesy of OfficeMax. The representatives gave Desart classroom resources and supplies valued at over $1000.
Desart’s goodies included a brand new desk chair amongst other supplies. The purpose of the “A Day Made Better” program is to help alleviate the financial burden teachers experience by having to take out money from their own pockets for classroom supplies. Desart said the visit and the generosity of the program really took her aback. “I was absolutely speechless. It was a great honor to receive all of those fabulous materials from OfficeMax,” she said .
