The school is part of the Clear Creek School District No. Re-1, which is ranked 61 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clear Creek High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 78th out of 256 Colorado high schools in 2016-2017 to 191st out of 328 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, placing the school in the bottom half of Colorado high schools. The school's performance is particularly concerning for male students and white students, who rank in the bottom half of Colorado high schools in recent years, while female students at Clear Creek High School perform better, ranking in the top half of Colorado high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 92.3% in 2023-2024 to a low of 83.1% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rates have also fluctuated, ranging from a low of 0.6% in 2023-2024 to a high of 2.1% in 2022-2023.
