Summary

Clear Lake High School is a large, well-established high school in the Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd), serving approximately 2,500 students in grades 9-12 in Houston, TX. It has a strong reputation for consistent, high-quality education, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and maintaining a graduation rate consistently above 95%.

Clear Lake stands out for its remarkable stability in academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of Texas high schools year after year. This consistency sets it apart from other large comprehensive schools in the district, such as Clear Falls High School and Clear Brook High School, which show more variation in their state rankings. The school is particularly strong in U.S. History, with 81.2% of students proficient, significantly outpacing the state average. While its overall state rank has seen a slight decline over the years, the school has made notable progress in improving outcomes for its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, with their performance rankings rising substantially. This suggests the school is actively working to close achievement gaps. A key area for improvement is Algebra I, where the school's proficiency rate, while above the state average, falls slightly below the district average.

Compared to the district's top-performing Clear Horizons Early College High School, a selective magnet school with dramatically higher test scores, Clear Lake's strong performance is more impressive given its inclusive, non-selective nature serving a much larger and more diverse student body. The school also demonstrates efficient resource allocation, achieving strong results with per-student spending that is in the middle of the pack for its district. For parents seeking a reliable, high-performing comprehensive high school that consistently delivers a solid education for a diverse student population, Clear Lake High School is an excellent choice.
