Summary

Clear Creek Elementary School in Cartersville, GA, serves 614 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Bartow County school district. The school has maintained a stable overall performance over the past decade, currently ranking in the 51st percentile statewide, with a student body where about 64% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of Clear Creek's standout strengths is mathematics, particularly in 5th grade. In the most recent testing cycle, 53.6% of 5th graders were proficient in math—nearly 10 points above the state average and about 7 points above the district average. This pattern of improving math scores as students advance through grades is consistent year over year. However, science tells a different story. Only 33% of 5th graders were proficient in science, well below both the district (41.3%) and state (44.2%) averages. This gap between strong math and weak science performance in the same grade is a defining characteristic of the school. When compared to nearby schools, Clear Creek's 5th-grade math proficiency is competitive with top performers like Pine Log Elementary and Hamilton Crossing Elementary, but its science scores trail most peers, only ahead of Cloverleaf Elementary.

There is also encouraging news on attendance. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 37.5% in 2021-2022 to 15.5% in 2025-2026, now below both district and state averages. This improvement is especially notable given the school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Clear Creek also spends more per student ($16,761) than many nearby schools, including Hamilton Crossing and White Elementary, though this investment has not yet translated into top-tier results across all subjects. While the school outperforms Kingston Elementary, it trails higher-ranked neighbors like Pine Log and Hamilton Crossing overall. For parents, Clear Creek offers a solid foundation in math and a clear commitment to getting kids to school, with science as the key area to watch for improvement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, October 15, 2010

They provide enourmous support to children with disabilities. With services that alot of other local schools in our county do not support, such as support class rooms and one on one para pros. wich can be very helpful to a child with disabilties. But also for children without so that they can mantain order and the best education with as little distraction as possible. From a parent with a child with autism i know that my child would probalby not do well with out a support class room, as many mainstream class rooms can be very overwhelming to a child with any type of diabilties. para pros are alomost considerd a "luxary" these days in county schools with many of them loosing there jobs in this past shool year. i was happy to see clear creek keep their's and hire more. Para pros are very helpful in all class rooms but depermental in disabilty support classes. They are also peace of mind for parent such as my self because you know the child has a para pro that will asist his/her needs and help keep them safe. I am proud to say that my child is clear creek lion!!!rrrooaar!!! Close Quote
