Summary

Clements High School in Sugar Land, TX, is a large, high-performing public high school serving 2,641 students in grades 9-12 within the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 5-6% of Texas high schools.

Clements stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in reading and writing. Its English I and II proficiency rates (87.2% and 86.9%) are over 20 percentage points higher than the district average and more than 30 points above the state average—a level unmatched by any other nearby traditional public high school. The school also boasts a 97.1% graduation rate and a dropout rate of just 0.5%. Interestingly, Clements achieves these results while spending only $8,731 per student, the lowest among comparable schools, yet outperforming them all. For example, Thurgood Marshall High School spends 44% more per student but achieves significantly lower outcomes. A nearby charter school, Harmony School Of Innovation-Sugar Land, is a direct competitor, ranking slightly higher overall and excelling in math, where Clements shows a relative weakness in Algebra I proficiency (62.5% vs. Harmony's 79.3%).

One of Clements' most impressive strengths is its support for all students. The school ranks in the 92nd percentile for Special Education students and the 91st percentile for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, showing that its success extends beyond its most advantaged learners. However, the school's performance for Asian students, while still strong in absolute terms, ranks lower relative to peers at other top Texas high schools (66th percentile). Within the Fort Bend ISD, Clements is part of a cluster of high-performing schools in the western part of the district, alongside Lawrence E Elkins High School and Stephen F Austin High School, while schools closer to Missouri City, like Kempner High School and Thurgood Marshall, serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and achieve lower academic results.

Open Quote I'm going to go ahead and say it: Clements is very tough, especially if you are enrolled in all honors and AP classes. The coursework is demanding, and you will probably encounter multiple tests/quizzes per day (so most of the homework I find is studying). You really have to be on top of things and very organized.

However, it really does prepare you well for college applications. Every year we send plenty of students to top universities (the Ivies, Seven Sisters, etc.). Two years ago, we had 8 students go to Rice, 3 to Stanford, 2 or 3 to MIT, 2 to Harvard, 1 to Brown, several to UChicago/Northwestern/Georgetown/USC, and several more (Berkeley, Princeton, Yale, etc.). Last year, we had roughly the same amount of people (although I think more people went to MIT and Rice that year). As long as you work hard and get into the top 5-6-7%, you will definitely go to a good university.

On the other hand,the counselors are pretty bad. They don't know as much about the colleges as you wish, so most of it will have to be done on your own. Since they have so many kids, it's hard for them to get to know you personally. Close Quote

Open Quote Clements High School is an excellent school because of the academic drive so many of the students attending have. It is an extremely competitive school because it needs to be. Every student pushes another to do achieve higher, better grades or to break athletic records or club activities, whatever. All I can say is, I'm proud to be a Ranger. Close Quote
