Clear Creek Elementary is a standout performer, particularly in science and math, where student proficiency rates are roughly 26 and 18 percentage points above the state average, respectively. The school has shown impressive improvement, climbing from the 61st to the 77th percentile in statewide rankings over the past three years. Furthermore, student attendance is better than average, with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly lower than the state's, which likely supports its academic success.
