With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, Clear Creek Middle School is among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state.

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.

Open Quote I am extremely dissapointed. The principal is new and does not seem to have a good handle on the pulse of the school. Some of the teachers are extremely dissorganized, actually misplacing and sometimes altogether loosing childrens assignments. When notified of their mistakes, there is never any admission or ownership of the mistake, only excuses and claims of "I dont know what happened". The school as a whole seems to do ok with average self motivated and self regulating students. Any students however that need extra attention, such as bright children that are bored with the standard curriculum, or students that learn in different way, seem to be lost in the shuffle. There is a general and apparent "who cares, its not my problem " attitude towards the students that seems to prevail with the teachers in this school. The administration does not seem to care about attitudes and motivation of the teachers towards the students. 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.
