Throughout my years in CFISD and Cy-Fair High School (CFHS), I’ve found the school and district to be just adequate. I am unimpressed with the administration’s actions, especially in 2023-2024 when they closed bathrooms for part of the day to attempt to stop drug use and prevent students from skipping classes. However, this measure failed and inconvenienced students just trying to go to the restroom and get through the tiring High School day. Even having the audacity to penalize those who bypassed barriers to use the restroom. This was my personal experience as a student at CFHS. CFISD the district has also proven to be displeasing, In June 2024, the district board made the decision to exclude 13 chapters from a science and health textbook, blatantly violating set board rules. These experiences reflect CFISD’s inability to provide proper education and consistent governance. While I have received my education from Cypress Fairbanks ISD and Cy-Fair High School, I cannot say I am pleased.

Throughout my high school experience in Cy-Fair High School, I have to say it was a unique one for sure. I was a freshman during the pandemic, so I was online student for the majority of the year. As you may be aware, online was a disaster with uncooperative students to teachers that would forget there were kids online. The time I did go to school for about a week, I suddenly felt sick in my second period. I went to the nurse’s office where I started getting yelled at because I had a fever that I didn’t have until that moment in which I cried and decided to just stay home for the rest of the year. Overall, the teachers I had were very nice and were very helpful towards my education. It was worth every fuss at school.
