"If you have the next NFL player in training or just think you do, then Cy Woods is the school for you! At Cy Woods you will meet other parents reliving their glory days through their kids, and don't forget those cheer moms! Do you have a student who enjoys music?Great, they have marching band for the football games.Oh, your child plays guitar?I'm sorry they don't have guitar for football.Cy woods also offers off season football such as track, and basketball.Cy woods also offers girls sports to give the girls something to do when they are not cheering for the football team!The school is about a 1/4 mile long and has close to 4000 students. This gives the football players practice with the "5 minute" drill called - beat the clock to class or get suspended. 3 tardies=1 absence. Absences= lost funding. Lost funding=no administrative bonuses.I promise your child will be late.I've been to back to school night.I know the school well, and it's going to happen.This school is too big, & the administrators don't know what they're doing.The focus is only on sports. Look at all your options, and know your kid.Don't rule out HISD.They have technology and music schools with no sports."

"I moved to Cypress from California and chose to go to Cy-woods purely based on everything I saw on the internet. It had a good Greatschools rating, many opportunities for scholarships, and was a new school. However after coming here I realized that athletics are the only thing that matter at this school. It's sad that star athletes get more recognition than star scholars! I had a few great teachers and a few not so great teachers. Many teachers who are also coaches put more time into their sport than teaching the students of their academic course! All in all, Cypress Woods is an okay school that focuses too much on sports!"

"Students who play sports get special privileges that the remaining students do not get. Athletes laugh at assignments and tests, knowing that a complaint to the administration will get them free grades. The other students are demoralized by the disparity, leaving it to the staff to attempt to gloss over the incredible unfairness."

"I have nothing but great things to say about Cypress Woods. My daughter graduated from there this year, which she was apart of the first four year class of CyWoods. I believe Mrs. Sue McGowan showed the very best leadership and spirit that I have ever witness and it shows in the result of Cy Woods having the most successful and largest graduating class in Texas history. Kudos to the staff and Mrs. McGowan."
