Clear Creek ISD landed one point short of Superintendent Karen Engle's stated target in the state's 2026 accountability ratings, earning an 89 out of 100 district-wide — a high B that reflects performance across all campuses, not just the high schools that swept A ratings.

The Texas Education Agency released the scores Friday, Aug. 14. While CCISD's seven high schools each earned individual A grades, as we reported Aug. 15, the district-level number rolls in elementary, intermediate and middle school results too. That broader picture is the metric TEA uses to grade a district as a whole.

"Our goal this year is for a 90 or higher and we are certainly well within that reach," Engle said in an Aug. 14 district news release, as reported by Community Impact.

The 89 continues a steady climb: CCISD scored 83 in 2023 and 88 in 2025, according to Galveston County Daily News reporting. The district ranked second in Galveston County behind Friendswood ISD, which scored 92.

TEA's A-F system measures three areas: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps. CCISD earned 83 in both school progress and relative performance, its two lowest publicly reported sub-scores.

Not every campus matched the high schools' momentum. League City Elementary, LaVace Stewart Elementary and Clear Creek Intermediate received the district's lowest ratings in Galveston County, though none fell below a C.

About 36% of CCISD students are economically disadvantaged, according to state records.
