With a total enrollment of 156 students, the school generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, but has room for improvement in science proficiency.

Clear Creek Elementary excels in certain grade levels and subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, where some grade levels significantly outperform the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, 4th grade students had a 64.71% proficiency rate in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 43.9%. However, the school's performance on the California Science Test (CAST) is slightly below the state average, with 29.03% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 30.7%.

The high chronic absenteeism rate and large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clear Creek Elementary suggest the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance and resource allocation. Addressing these factors, as well as improving science proficiency, could be areas of focus for the school to enhance its overall performance and support student success.
