Summary:
Zip code 77062 in Houston, Texas, is home to five public schools within the highly-rated Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd), serving a total of 3,065 students across four elementary schools (PK-5) and one middle school (6-8), with no high schools in the immediate area.
The standout school in the area is Falcon Pass Elementary, which ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide and consistently outperforms district and state averages in nearly every subject, such as 73% proficiency in 3rd Grade Reading. It also has the lowest percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (34%) and the highest per-student spending ($12,176). In contrast, G H Whitcomb Elementary is the lowest-ranked school (37th percentile), with declining scores and significant struggles, particularly in 5th Grade Science where only 13% of students were proficient. Clear Lake City Elementary shows remarkable strength in upper grades, with 81% of 5th graders proficient in Reading, while John F Ward Elementary performs solidly with the lowest per-student spending ($9,988). The only middle school, Clear Lake Intermediate, presents a paradox: its overall ranking is low (48th percentile), yet it excels in advanced coursework with 100% proficiency in Biology and 93% in Algebra I.
A key takeaway is the wide performance gap between schools, strongly linked to socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the free/reduced lunch rates. Science is a universal weak point across all elementary schools, with even top-performing Falcon Pass achieving only 44% proficiency in 5th Grade Science. Student-teacher ratios are very consistent (15.1:1 to 15.8:1), indicating uniform class sizes, but spending does not directly correlate with success, as Whitcomb has higher spending than Ward but lower performance. Overall, families in 77062 have strong options at Falcon Pass and Clear Lake City Elementary, but should be aware of the challenges at Whitcomb and the specialized strengths at Clear Lake Intermediate.
