Summary:

Clear Creek Middle School is a public middle school located in Evergreen, Colorado, serving grades 7-8 with a relatively small student population of 96 students, the majority of whom are White.

While Clear Creek Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, it has consistently underperformed academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling well below state averages. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 214 and 330 out of 369 to 485 Colorado middle schools, and maintains a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. This is in contrast to nearby schools like Evergreen Middle School, Manning Options School, and West Jefferson Middle School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

The data also reveals that the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clear Creek Middle School has ranged from 19.57% to 35.42% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average and indicates a relatively higher proportion of students from low-income families. This demographic difference is notable when compared to some nearby schools, such as Dunstan Middle School and Connections Learning Center, which have more diverse student populations. The factors contributing to Clear Creek Middle School's underperformance may be related to its small size, the socioeconomic status of its student population, and the resources available within the Clear Creek School District No. Re-1.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
