Under the No Child Left Behind Act, all public school campuses, districts, and the state are evaluated for "Adequate Yearly Progress" or "AYP". For 2009, all 69 Cypress-Fairbanks campuses were gauged and given "Met Adequate Yearly Progress" status by the Texas Education Agency on December 15th.
To meet eligibility for AYP, districts needed to exhibit 67 percent performance and 95 percent participation in TAKS Reading/English Language Arts; 58 percent performance and 95 percent participation in TAKS Mathematics; and a 70 percent graduation rate/90 percent attendance rate.
Towne Lake is proud to note that Cy-Fair I.S.D. scored 97 percent in English/Language Arts performance with 99 percent in participation and 92 percent in Math performance with 100 percent participation. Cy-Fair's graduation rate for the Class of 2008 was 86.4 percent.

For more than three decades, the Village Builders name has been synonymous with quality craftsmanship, innovative design and excellence in customer service. It’s why JD Power and Associates has awarded Village Builders, in a tie, their highest ranking for customer satisfaction for homebuilders in Houston. But the real winner is you.
The study was based on 26,231 total responses in 24 markets, measuring 26 builders in Houston (Brazoria, Ft. Bend, Galveston, Harris and Montgomery Counties) and measures opinions of consumers who purchased a new home in 2008. Proprietary study results are based on experiences and perceptions of consumers surveyed March-July 2009.

Towne Lake is proud to send its students to Cy-Fair I.S.D. schools, as the district is award-winning and dedicated to continuing education with innovative curricula. This week (December 6-12) marks National Computer Science Education Week by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The first full week in December was chosen to honor computer science education in honor of Grace Murray Hopper, a pioneer in the field who was born on December 9, 1906. Hopper engineered new programming languages and pioneered standards for computer systems, which laid the foundation for several advances in computer science from the late 1940s through the 1970s.
Denise Kubecka, CFISD's coordinator for secondary technology applications noted, "Computing is something that touches everyone’s life on a daily basis. As a result, more and more jobs have a connection to computer science. Being exposed to computer science education allows students to engage in critical and computational thinking—both which are necessary for success in any field in this digital age."
