Summary

Clear Lake High serves 335 students in grades 9–12 in Lakeport, California. Graduation is high: 94.3% of students graduated in 2025–2026, compared with 87.9% statewide and 93.8% in Lakeport Unified; the dropout rate was 1.4%, versus 8.3% statewide. But chronic absenteeism reached 38.6%, compared with 18.3% statewide and 33.8% in the district. The most important academic concern is math: proficiency was 10.34%, 28 points below the state.

English language arts (ELA) is Clear Lake’s strongest subject, while math and science are weak compared with state results. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 43%, 6 points below California’s 49% but 17 points above the district’s 26%. Math was 10%, 28 points below the state’s 38% and 2 points below the district’s 12%; science was 17%, 19 points below the state’s 36% and 2 points below the district’s 19%. Clear Lake ranked second-lowest among five nearby schools with scores in all three subjects. Its ELA result, 43.1%, was just above Natural High at 42.9%, but it scored below Kelseyville High and Upper Lake High in each subject. Nearby schools include continuation programs, so the comparisons are not fully like-for-like.

Results have varied over time, but Clear Lake has lost ground to the state overall: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, its ELA score fell from 53% to 43%, while science fell from 30% to 17%; math was nearly flat, moving from 11% to 10%. The latest ELA result rebounded from 30.3% the prior year. SchoolDigger places Clear Lake at the 30th percentile with 2 stars, down from the 67th percentile in 2021–2022. Its subgroup rankings also fell sharply: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic students dropped from the 48th to the 21st percentile between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; for male students, it fell from the 42nd to the 23rd percentile. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16:1, and 77% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year.
