During its final year of operation, about 400 students attended CLC. In March 2011, the HISD board granted the district approval to move CLC to a new building, from the old location. The school qualified for a grant intended to transform schools having problems, because CLC on repeated occasions did not meet federal academic standards. CLC was converted into the DeVry Advantage Academy. Few students from CLC transferred to DeVry. Tracey Lewis, the principal of the DeVry school, said that the new location may have discouraged some of the earlier CLC students. Terry Grier, the HISD superintendent, agreed with Lewis's hypothesis. In the northern hemisphere fall of that year, the Young Women's College Preparatory Academy opened on the previous CLC site.
