This school consistently achieves exceptional academic results, with proficiency rates in reading and math far exceeding state averages—for example, 89% of 5th graders were proficient in reading compared to 58% statewide. It also stands out for its outstanding support of all student groups, including English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the top 3% statewide.

One area for potential growth is support for Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the 81st percentile—the lowest among all subgroups at the school. This may indicate a focus on bringing all students to proficiency rather than providing exceptional enrichment for the highest achievers. Overall, C W Cline Elementary offers a strong, well-rounded education with a track record of excellence, making it a standout choice for families in the Friendswood area.

The majority of the teachers here are old and lazy. If you have a child that is extremely inquisitive or curious forget this. They have only a handful of young teachers here who actually want to work and appreciate smart kids whom require “extra” attention. Close Quote
