Summary

Clear Creek High School is a small public high school in Evergreen, Colorado, serving 182 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Clear Creek School District Re-1. With a student-teacher ratio of just 13.6:1, the school offers smaller classes and more individualized attention than nearby comprehensive high schools like Evergreen High School (20.2:1), Golden High School (21.3:1), or Conifer Senior High School (18.9:1). Currently ranked in the 51st percentile statewide (3 stars), Clear Creek sits solidly in the middle tier of Colorado high schools—a recovery from last year's dip but below its early-2020s peak.

Academically, the school shows a clear split between subjects. Reading and writing performance is near the state average, but math proficiency lags significantly: only 16% of 11th graders were proficient on the SAT math exam, compared to 32% statewide and 68% at Evergreen, 58% at Conifer, and 52% at Golden. Reading/writing proficiency (48%) also trails those schools, though the school outperforms the state average in early-grade PSAT reading (67% vs. 66%). The graduation rate (93.5%) is strong and exceeds the state average (85.6%), yet chronic absenteeism (35.9%) and a dropout rate above the state average suggest a disconnect between daily engagement and eventual graduation. Notably, low-income students at Clear Creek rank in the 75th percentile statewide—a sign the school is particularly effective for economically disadvantaged students, who now make up nearly a third of enrollment.

The school is clearly in transition. Free/reduced lunch eligibility has climbed from 18.2% to 31.9% in just three years, and the small enrollment means subgroup performance can swing dramatically from year to year—male students, for example, jumped from the 20th to the 54th percentile in a single year. While Clear Creek struggles to match the academic intensity of affluent neighbors like Evergreen (96th percentile) or Green Mountain High School (67th percentile), its high graduation rate, equitable outcomes for low-SES students, and small-school environment make it a solid choice for families seeking a close-knit mountain community school.
