Clear Creek Elementary School

Q: Is Clear Creek Elementary School a good school?

Clear Creek Elementary School ranks 591 st of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Clear Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cartersville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 675 students. The school is part of the Bartow County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 203 school districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clear Creek Elementary School's academic performance has consistently been below the Bartow County and Georgia state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 24.1% for 3rd grade, 28.1% for 4th grade, and 48.1% for 5th grade, compared to the Bartow County averages of 36.6%, 35.2%, and 48.6%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics and science has also been lower than the district and state averages. However, Clear Creek Elementary is not the lowest-performing school in the immediate area, as schools like Euharlee Elementary, Mission Road Elementary, and Cloverleaf Elementary have shown stronger academic performance.

The relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clear Creek Elementary, ranging from 47.8% to 51.7% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. However, other nearby schools with similar or higher free/reduced-lunch rates have demonstrated stronger academic results, suggesting that additional factors may be at play. Clear Creek Elementary School's consistent 3-star rating and middle-to-lower ranking among Georgia elementary schools indicate that there is room for improvement, and the school may benefit from analyzing the instructional practices and support systems of its higher-performing neighbors to implement strategies that could boost student achievement.

Friday, October 15, 2010

They provide enourmous support to children with disabilities. With services that alot of other local schools in our county do not support, such as support class rooms and one on one para pros. wich can be very helpful to a child with disabilties. But also for children without so that they can mantain order and the best education with as little distraction as possible. From a parent with a child with autism i know that my child would probalby not do well with out a support class room, as many mainstream class rooms can be very overwhelming to a child with any type of diabilties. para pros are alomost considerd a "luxary" these days in county schools with many of them loosing there jobs in this past shool year. i was happy to see clear creek keep their's and hire more. Para pros are very helpful in all class rooms but depermental in disabilty support classes. They are also peace of mind for parent such as my self because you know the child has a para pro that will asist his/her needs and help keep them safe. I am proud to say that my child is clear creek lion!!!rrrooaar!!! Close Quote

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.
