Clear Creek Elementary

The Clear Creek area has one K–8 school, Clear Creek Elementary, with 173 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science: 57% versus 49% in ELA, 54% versus 38% in math, and 48% versus 36% in science. The most important finding is that the school outperformed the state in all three subjects, with its largest lead in math—15 points.

There are no other schools in this list to compare, but results vary by grade. Fourth-grade math stands out: 73% of students met proficiency, 31 points above the state. Clear Creek was also above the state in math in every grade with a reported result: by 13 points in grade 3, 16 in grade 5 and 9 in grade 6. The smallest reported ELA advantage was in grade 5, where proficiency was 53%, 4 points above the state; grade 5 science was stronger, at 53%, or 18 points above the state. Across reported grades, math ranged from 46% in grade 6 to 73% in grade 4.

All three all-grade scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA by 3 points, math by 1 and science by 10, while state results rose. Science had the sharpest drop, yet remained 12 points above the state. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved over three years: the school rose from the 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 78th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026; its rank moved from 2,079 of 5,869 to 1,301 of 5,804. Other context includes a 17.3 student–teacher ratio and 45% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, plus 17% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. Because this is a one-school list, it cannot show how the school compares with nearby schools; results for grades 7–8 ELA and math and grade 8 science were suppressed.
