McFee Elementary School - Cypress Fairbanks ISD

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD · Katy · 77449

McFee Elementary is the youngest campus in the Cy-Lakes pattern — open since 2007 at 19315 Plantation Cove Lane in the Katy-address 77449 ZIP. It’s rated B (82 out of 100) in TEA’s 2024–25 state ratings with one of the six distinction designations it was eligible for, serving about 960 students in PK–5. It honors Patti Becker McFee, who started as a Matzke Elementary paraprofessional and rose to direct the district’s human-resource systems — the person who first computerized CFISD’s personnel records. McFee’s zone splits at the high-school line: the Brenwood side feeds Cypress Lakes, and the Austinville–Barker Village side feeds Cypress Springs.

Buying or selling a home zoned to McFee?

Two houses zoned to the same McFee kindergarten can graduate from different high schools — and one of the split neighborhoods is literally named Cypress Falls yet feeds Cypress Springs, which is why I quote the code report, not the subdivision sign. 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.
