Clear Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Clear Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bloomington, Indiana, with an enrollment of 361 students. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Monroe County Community School Corp, it stands out from nearby schools in several key areas.

Compared to other schools in the district, Clear Creek Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.87%) and consistently lower test scores on the ILEARN assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.33% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 34.43% were proficient or better in math, both well below the district averages. Additionally, Clear Creek Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.6% in 2020-2021 to 24.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average. The school also serves a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 39.19% in 2021-2022 to 51.8% in 2022-2023.

These trends suggest that Clear Creek Elementary may be facing significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and attendance needs. When compared to other schools in the district, such as Binford Elementary and Childs Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments, Clear Creek Elementary's performance appears to be declining. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in helping the school improve its outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
