Matzke Elementary School - Cypress Fairbanks ISD

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD · Houston · 77070

Matzke Elementary School pairs the district’s oldest elementary namesake with one of its newer buildings — the school dates to 1965, and in 2017 it moved into a new campus at 10002 Mills Road in the 77070 ZIP. Matzke is rated B (81 out of 100) in TEA’s 2024–25 state ratings with two of the six distinction designations it was eligible for, serving about 1,025 students in PK–5. Ernestine Matzke taught first grade for 48 years, 44 of them in Cypress-Fairbanks schools, and helped bring the area’s rural schools into the Cypress district before consolidation. Every Matzke address feeds Bleyl Middle and then Cypress Creek High.

Norchester’s tall pines and 1970s floor plans meet a 2017 school building here — sellers in this zone lead with the trees, buyers ask about the schools, and both stories hold up. As your buyer’s agent I’ll line up showings, dig into HOA dues, MUD taxes and flood history, and negotiate hard on your behalf — we’ll agree on how I’m paid up front and in writing.
