Original Research by School Decision on Clear Lake H S
Clear Lake High School is a regular public high school in Houston serving grades nine through twelve. The school enrolls a mid-sized cohort of students across four grades, drawn from the Clear Creek Independent School District.
The student body is diverse. White and Hispanic students together make up roughly three-quarters of enrollment; Asian students constitute a meaningful share as well, and Black students and multiracial students are also represented. The school did not report counts or rates for free-or-reduced-price lunch, special education, or English learner populations, so a reader cannot assess how many students qualify for economic assistance or require specialized services from the data available.
On the most recent state assessments, Clear Lake's results show uneven strength across subjects. Science and social studies performance stands out: nearly all students reached the "approaches" level in science, and a solid majority reached the "meets" level. Math results are also quite strong, with students reaching the "approaches" level at a high rate. English language arts is the softer area; while a clear majority met proficiency in ELA, the "approaches" rate lagged behind the other three subjects, and the "masters" rate in ELA was the lowest of any subject. Across all four tested subjects, the portion reaching the "meets" standard was solid, and a smaller but material share achieved the "master" level. The school reported only one year of assessment data, so trends over time cannot be assessed.
State testing results for graduation rate and chronic absenteeism were not available in the data provided. These metrics are reported by the state and would appear here were they supplied; the gap does not reflect a data gap unique to this school. A parent may want to look into graduation rate and attendance directly with the school or district.
The school is located on Bay Area Boulevard in Houston's southeast side, in a zip code where the median home value sits in the mid-range for Harris County, with rental rates also mid-range. The broader Houston region is growing rapidly and saw substantial housing construction in recent years, though home values have edged down slightly year-over-year. The economy is anchored by energy, healthcare, aerospace, and logistics, with major employers including Fortune companies and the Texas Medical Center, one of the world's largest medical complexes.
District-level strategic priorities or recent changes were not found in available sources, so that context is not included here. A reader wanting to know the district's direction on curriculum, investment, or staffing would benefit from contacting Clear Creek ISD directly.
Clear Lake High School's academic profile shows capable math and science instruction with notably strong science results, solid overall proficiency across the board, and an area in ELA where support could deepen student mastery. The school serves a demographically varied student body in a growing suburban Houston setting with moderate housing costs and a diversified economic base.
