Clear Creek Elementary

Summary:

Clear Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Shelbyville, Kentucky, serving 431 students in grades K-5 and part of the Shelby County School District.

Clear Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the Shelby County and Kentucky state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26% of 3rd graders at Clear Creek were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 40% in Shelby County and 43% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and white students all in the bottom 10-20% of Kentucky elementary schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Heritage Elementary, Simpsonville Elementary, and Painted Stone Elementary significantly outperform Clear Creek Elementary on state assessments and have higher overall rankings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Clear Creek's underperformance, which has declined over the past decade, dropping from the top 40% of Kentucky elementary schools in 2013-2014 to the bottom 5% in 2023-2024.

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.
