Summary:
This analysis examines six middle schools in the 77573 zip code (League City area), serving grades 6-8, with five schools belonging to the high-performing Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd) and one alternative school in the Channelview Independent School District (Isd).
The standout performer is League City Intermediate, ranked in the 97th percentile statewide—among the top 3% of all Texas middle schools—with proficiency rates in 6th grade math (80.37%) and reading (81.66%) that more than double state averages. Victory Lakes Intermediate shows the most improvement, jumping from the 70th to the 82nd percentile in one year. The three middle-tier schools—Bayside Intermediate, Victory Lakes, and Creekside Intermediate—cluster around the 70th-82nd percentile with similar demographics and size. Clear Creek Intermediate is the lowest-performing Clear Creek school at the 50th percentile, with only 24.68% proficiency in 8th grade science. The outlier, Academic Counseling And Transition Academy, is a small alternative school (25 students) with 0% proficiency in multiple subjects and a 1st percentile ranking.
A key finding is that spending does not predict success: Clear Creek Intermediate spends the most per student ($9,774) yet performs worst, while League City Intermediate spends less ($8,882) and excels. All six schools report a 0% dropout rate. An interesting paradox emerges: schools like Creekside and Clear Creek Intermediate struggle with grade-level math proficiency (46.11% and 33.02% respectively) yet achieve near-perfect scores (over 98%) on Algebra I exams, suggesting only a select group of advanced students takes that course. Overall, the Clear Creek ISD schools average a 77th percentile ranking, making this zip code a strong choice for families seeking high-quality middle school education, with League City Intermediate as the clear academic leader.
