Summary

Clear Creek Middle School is a small public middle school in Evergreen, Colorado, serving 87 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Clear Creek School District No. Re-1. However, the school faces significant challenges, with consistently low test scores, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism compared to the state and nearby middle schools.

Clear Creek Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science on the CMAS tests. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from 214 out of 369 Colorado middle schools in 2020-2021 to 406 out of 469 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Nearby middle schools, such as Drake Junior High School, Manning Options School, and Evergreen Middle School, consistently outperform Clear Creek Middle School in academic measures.

Additionally, Clear Creek Middle School faces challenges with high dropout rates, ranging from 0.6% to 2.1% in recent years, and a chronic absenteeism rate of around 28%, both of which are significantly higher than state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to improve its educational outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment for its students.
