Clements has benefited from the recent construction of new high schools in Fort Bend ISD, a trend that continues as the district plans to open a tenth campus. This has enabled Clements to substantially decrease enrollment, which dropped to about 2,300 from nearly 3,000 a decade ago, and to escape the trouble faced by similar schools whose populations grow to unmanageable proportions.

The school recently adopted an honor code to combat cheating and academic dishonesty. Students must conduct 125 hours of community service to be recognized at graduation.
