Francone Elementary School - Cypress Fairbanks ISD

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD · Houston · 77064

Francone Elementary School carries one of the most distinctive namesake stories in CFISD — it honors brothers John and Frank Francone, a school custodian and a bus mechanic who together gave the district more than 70 years of service. The campus at 11250 Perry Road in the 77064 ZIP is rated B (82 out of 100) in TEA’s 2024–25 state ratings with five of the six distinction designations it was eligible for, serving about 730 students in PK–5 since 1978. The zone splits at the high school: the Perry Road side feeds Cypress Creek; the Windfern side feeds Cypress Ridge.
