Summary

Clear Lake High is a public high school serving 335 students in grades 9-12 in Lakeport, CA, as part of the Lakeport Unified School District, which ranks in the bottom 13% of districts statewide.

The school presents a complex picture, with an exceptionally strong 98.5% graduation rate that consistently beats state averages, but academic proficiency in core subjects like English, Math, and Science is significantly below state levels. This performance is volatile, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating dramatically over the past decade. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, affecting 35.7% of students, which is nearly double the state average and higher than nearby comprehensive schools like Kelseyville High. The student population has seen a sharp increase in economic need, with over three-quarters now qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to other local schools, Clear Lake High operates with much lower per-student spending but achieves higher graduation rates than nearby continuation schools like South Valley High (Continuation). While it shares the challenge of low academic proficiency with other comprehensive high schools in the area such as Upper Lake High, its ability to graduate students in a high-need community is a notable strength, though addressing absenteeism and academic mastery remain key areas for improvement.
