Elementary Schools in Clear Creek School District No. Re-1

Summary:

The Clear Creek School District No. Re-1 in Colorado is home to three elementary schools: King-Murphy Elementary School, Carlson Elementary School, and Georgetown Community School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade in the Clear Creek area.

Among the three schools, King-Murphy Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It consistently ranks higher than the district and state averages in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) test scores for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, King-Murphy Elementary School ranked 184 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% compared to the other two schools in the district.

In contrast, Carlson Elementary School and Georgetown Community School generally perform below the district and state averages in CMAS test scores. These schools also have higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, with Georgetown Community School at 36.47% and Carlson Elementary School at 33.57%, suggesting they may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population. Despite their smaller school sizes and lower student-teacher ratios, these schools have not been able to match the academic performance of King-Murphy Elementary School.
