Clear Lake High School

What Clear Lake High School does

Clear Lake High School (CLHS, "The Lake") is a public secondary school serving grades 9-12 in Houston, Texas, operated by Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD) at 2929 Bay Area Blvd. The school delivers a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum of more than 400 courses spanning on-level, Honors, Advanced Academic, and Advanced Placement pathways, and serves as the district's home campus for CTE specialty programs in Biomedical Science and Culinary Arts. Supporting infrastructure includes a dedicated College and Career Center administering SAT, PSAT, TSIA2, and AP exams; a Testing Center for STAAR EOCs and TELPAS; Special Education, Section 504, and deaf/hard-of-hearing cooperative services; JROTC (Falcon Battalion); Fine Arts (Band, Choir, Orchestra, Theatre, Falcon Flairs); Athletics; and a broad Student Clubs and Honor Societies portfolio. The school uses district-provided third-party platforms — Canvas LMS, Skyward SIS, Naviance, SchoolCafe, and Finalsite — plus a new student ID badge with bus tracking, and is the only CCISD high school to have earned 100% Golden Apple Award employee membership since the 2022-23 school year.

The school's value proposition centers on being the highest-ranked comprehensive high school in Clear Creek ISD per U.S. News & World Report, ranked 10th in the Houston area for College Preparatory performance with an A+ grade from the Houston Chronicle, and a dual State and National School of Character designated by Character.org. The Class of 2026 achieved an average SAT score of 1260, and the school consistently leads the district in National Merit recognitions. The institution explicitly positions itself as the "School of Choice for Military Families," with a dedicated Campus Military Liaison (1SG Flores) and a Military Child Education Coalition partnership.

As a public entity, CLHS does not generate independent commercial revenue. Operating funding flows entirely through CCISD district budgets (state and local tax sources). Fee-based ancillary revenue streams are minor and include student meals ($3.50 breakfast, $5 lunch, with free/reduced eligibility), parking permits ($50 standard, $100 VIP with funds donated to the senior class), $7 ID badge replacements, and $13/year PTSA memberships. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through CCISD's centralized enrollment system, with out-of-district transfer applications and military family enrollment as secondary intake channels.
