Having come from the very fractured and underfunded California school system, it came as no surprise to read recently that 12 (yes TWELVE) CCISD campuses are among the best in Texas! Ask anyone in the Clear Lake area and they will brag about their schools - often pointing to the school district as being a contributing factor in choosing to live in Clear Lake. I know having excellent schools was an important factor in our move here.

According to the Bay Area Citizen (1/21/2010 frontpage) these 12 campuses have been recognized by the National Center for Educational Achievement in its 2009 Just For Kids Campaign for Higher Performing Schools in Texas. (read entire article here) They are:

Armand Bayou Elementary - in science
Brookwood Elementary - in math, reading and science
Falcon Pass Elementary - in math reading and science
Ferguson Elementary - in math and science
Hall Elementary - in math
Hyde Elementary - in writing
North Pointe Elementary - in math, reading, science and social studies
Robinson Elementary - in math
Ward Elementary - in math and science
Space Center Intermediate - in math, reading, science and social studies
Westbrook Intermediate - in writing, science and social studies
Clear Lake High School - in math, science and social studies

Not to be outdone, Friendswood High School, Friendswood Junior High and Windsong Intermediate were also cited.

Why should you care about these rankings? Well if you are selling your home and it feeds into one of these schools it is an added selling point. If you are buying, you may want to see what homes are available in these areas. How do you find where these schools are? Visit my websites resource page , email me, or give me a call. I'd love to help....it's what I do!
