The school serves all of CCISD, including the cities of Kemah, Clear Lake Shores, Nassau Bay, Webster, El Lago, and Taylor Lake Village and portions of Houston, Pasadena, Friendswood, and League City.

Clear View began as the Alternative Learning Center for CCISD and is designed to serve the needs of the at-risk student population for the district.

Clear View does this by allowing students to start over on their journey toward academic success in a unique educational environment while providing small classes (a maximum of 12 students in all core academic classes), excellent teachers, innovative instruction, extra tutoring, opportunities for remedial work and credit recovery, no homework, less distractions, excellent technology, programs which lead to job certifications in the areas of health care and cosmetology and a support system to help with other issues that can make the school years difficult.

Through smaller classes and individualized attention, students feel connected to an academic community that emphasizes success as its top priority.

This smaller learning environment allows for each student to receive one-on-one attention from teachers and administration to specifically meet his or her educational needs.
