Summary:
The Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd) serves eight high schools in the Houston area, ranging from large comprehensive campuses to specialized alternative programs, and offers a strong overall academic environment ranked in the 85th percentile of Texas districts.
Among the traditional high schools, Clear Springs High School stands out as the top performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating and boasting the highest graduation rate (98.6%) among its peers, along with exceptional English Language Arts scores. Clear Falls High School and Clear Lake High School also perform well, with stable mid-to-high state rankings. Clear Brook High School shows some fluctuation but remains solid, while Clear Creek High School consistently ranks lowest among the comprehensive schools, particularly in Algebra I and English, presenting an opportunity for targeted improvement. The academic powerhouse is Clear Horizons Early College High School, a specialized early college program that ranks in the top 2-3% of Texas high schools and achieves dramatically higher STAAR scores—often exceeding 90% proficiency—compared to district and state averages.
Two unique schools serve specialized student populations: Clear View High School has shown significant improvement, jumping from a 2-star to a 3-star rating, while Clear Path Alternative School serves grades 6-12 with a very low student-teacher ratio (2.3) and high per-student spending ($58,379), reflecting its high-need mission. A key takeaway is that Algebra I is the most challenging subject district-wide, with some comprehensive schools falling below the state average. Additionally, higher spending does not automatically correlate with higher test scores, as Clear Horizons achieves top results with lower per-student costs, while Clear View and Clear Path invest more in student support services.
