Schools in League City
Clear Creek Independent School District, which serves League City, is a consistently highly rated district in Houston-area comparisons -- an overall A grade and a 4.22-out-of-5 rating from Niche, ranked #6 among Best School Districts in the Houston Area -- though its raw state-test proficiency figures are more modest than the letter grade alone suggests, and worth stating alongside it rather than in place of it.

Learn moreDistrict-Level Rating
Niche.com rates Clear Creek ISD an overall A, with a 4.22-out-of-5 score and a #6 ranking among Best School Districts in the Houston Area, as of 2026 rankings. The district serves 39,684 students across grades PK through 12, with a student-teacher ratio of 17 to 1, per the same source. Niche cites the district earning above-average marks specifically for academics, teachers, college prep, and clubs and activities.
State Test Proficiency: Worth Stating Directly
The same Niche data cites state test scores of 57% proficient in math and 65% proficient in reading district-wide -- figures that are meaningfully lower in absolute terms than the district's A letter grade and 4.22/5 rating might suggest on their own. Both figures are genuine and from the same source; letter grades and rankings weigh multiple factors beyond raw proficiency percentages, and a parent evaluating a specific school should look at both the rating and the underlying proficiency numbers rather than either alone.
School Safety: A Specific, Sourced Strength
Clear Creek ISD is separately cited (Midline TX's 2026 parent's guide, aggregating SchoolDigger data) as earning above-average marks on school-safety metrics specifically, relative to other Houston-suburb districts -- a specific, sourced strength distinct from the general academic rating above, and one worth calling out given how directly it matters to relocating families.
Confirm the Specific Assigned Campus
As with any district, a district-level A grade does not mean every individual campus performs identically -- Clear Creek ISD includes multiple elementary, middle, and high schools serving different League City neighborhoods. Confirm the specific assigned campus for a target address via the district's own attendance-zone lookup or the Texas Education Agency's TXschools.gov database before relying on the district-level statistics above for a specific school decision.
Key takeaways
- Clear Creek ISD earns an overall A grade and a 4.22/5 score from Niche, ranked #6 among Best School Districts in the Houston Area (2026 rankings) -- serving 39,684 students at a 17:1 student-teacher ratio.
- State test proficiency is meaningfully more modest than the letter grade alone suggests: 57% proficient in math, 65% in reading, per the same Niche data -- both figures worth knowing together, not the rating alone.
- Clear Creek ISD is separately cited as earning above-average marks on school-safety metrics specifically, relative to other Houston-suburb districts.
- A district-level A grade doesn't guarantee any one campus performs identically -- confirm the specific assigned school for a target address via TXschools.gov before relying on district-level statistics alone.
