Tipps Elementary School - Cypress Fairbanks ISD

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD · Houston · 77084

Tipps Elementary is the rare campus whose zone touches three high schools — from 5611 Queenston Boulevard in the 77084 ZIP, open since 2003. It’s rated B (80 out of 100) in TEA’s 2024–25 state ratings with one of the six distinction designations it was eligible for, serving about 980 students in PK–5. It honors Jane Maloy Tipps, whose 29 CFISD years included counseling at Post and Yeager, an 11-year principalship at Matzke, and opening Ault Elementary as its first principal in 1993. Most Tipps addresses feed Watkins Middle and then Cypress Lakes High — but the Yorktown side goes to Langham Creek, and the Timbercreek corner to Cypress Falls.

Three high schools out of one elementary zone is as split as CFISD gets — here the code report isn’t due diligence, it’s the starting point. 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.
