Summary

Darwin L Gilmore Elementary in League City, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 676 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-rated Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a reputation for consistent excellence, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year and maintaining a 4-star or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Gilmore Elementary stands out for its exceptional science program, with 5th Grade Science proficiency rates that far exceed both district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, 45.04% of students were proficient in science, compared to just 33.93% for the district and 29.57% statewide. This makes Gilmore a "science powerhouse" compared to nearby schools like Campbell Elementary (37.84%) and Henry Bauerschlag Elementary (34.13%). The school also consistently outperforms the district in Reading and Math across all tested grades, with 4th Grade Math proficiency (70.45%) nearly 10 points higher than the district average (60.86%).

One of the school's most notable strengths is its ability to support students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, the school has seen a slight recent dip in overall rankings, from the 91st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 86th percentile in 2025-2026, with some subgroups experiencing declines. While Gilmore is an excellent choice within its district, it operates in a competitive landscape—the nearby C W Cline Elementary in Friendswood Independent School District (Isd) is an elite 5-star school ranking in the 96th percentile, though with different demographic factors. Overall, Gilmore Elementary offers a stable, high-quality education with a particularly strong science program and a commitment to equity.
