Clark Elementary School's 29-teacher team — with an average of 16 years at the school — continued its work under United ISD's 6-consecutive-A-rating record. The school participates in UISD's Super Outrageous STREAM Day events held in both fall and spring semesters, giving students hands-on science and math experiences outside the standard classroom format. UISD Open Enrollment for the 2026-27 school year opened February 2, 2026, giving families outside Clark's attendance zone the opportunity to apply for a spot — a useful option for families who want UISD access without being zoned to the campus.
