High Schools in Clear Creek School District No. Re-1

Clear Creek School District No. Re-1 is home to a single high school, Clear Creek High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the small town of Idaho Springs, Colorado, the district is situated in the Rocky Mountains and has a predominantly White student population.

Clear Creek High School stands out for its strong academic performance in certain areas, such as CMAS/Science proficiency and PSAT9 assessments, which exceed state averages. However, the school struggles in other subjects, like SAT and PSAT10 Mathematics, where proficiency rates fall below the state average. With a small student body of just 209 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, the school offers a more intimate educational environment, though its overall ranking of 169th out of 349 Colorado high schools and a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest room for improvement.

Despite the school's predominantly White student population, it does have notable diversity, with 10.53% Hispanic and 1.44% Native American students. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 18.18% indicates a relatively low level of economic disadvantage among the student body. Overall, Clear Creek School District No. Re-1 and its sole high school, Clear Creek High School, offer a unique educational experience in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, with a mix of academic strengths and areas for growth.
