Summary

Clark Creek Elementary School in Acworth, GA, is a large public school serving 1,108 students in grades PK through 5 within the Cherokee County School District—a district ranked in the 89th percentile statewide. While the school was once a strong performer, ranking in the 80th percentile in 2020-2021, it has since slipped to the 49th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the middle of the pack compared to other Georgia elementary schools.

The most significant area of concern is mathematics. Across all grade levels, Clark Creek’s math proficiency rates hover around 45%, compared to district averages near 60%—a gap of roughly 15 percentage points. This underperformance stands out against nearby schools like Bascomb Elementary (93rd percentile) and Carmel Elementary (72nd percentile), which both maintain strong math scores. Additionally, 5th-grade science scores took a dramatic one-year plunge, dropping from 52.7% proficiency in 2024-2025 to just 29.5% in 2025-2026—far below the district average of 53.3% and the lowest among comparable schools in the area. Notably, Allatoona Elementary, a higher-poverty school in Bartow County, posts significantly better science scores (48.4%), suggesting that demographics alone don’t explain Clark Creek’s challenges.

On a more positive note, the school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 10.8% is better than the state average (17.7%), though it remains above the district average (10.2%) and much higher than Bascomb’s 2.0%. The school also spends more per student ($15,397) than Bascomb ($13,714), yet results haven’t followed. While the most recent English Language Arts (ELA) data from 2024-2025 shows 5th graders performing above the state average (47.8% vs. 43%), 3rd and 4th graders lag behind state averages. For parents, this picture suggests a school with strong potential that is currently struggling to translate its resources into consistent academic gains, particularly in math and science.

The teachers at Clark Creek STEM Academy are wonderful. They have proven to be caring and dedicated to my children. My children come home from school happy everyday and for that I am very grateful. Parent and family involvement at this school is also outstanding and there is a lot to be said about that. This is a wonderful school with really great things to come in their future. Close Quote

We are so blessed to be zoned for Clark Creek Elementary STEM Academy. It is a school of choice though and there are many students from surrounding elementary schools in our county that transfer over. There are small class sizes and dynamic teachers. The teachers are truly the best of the best! My sons are in K5 and there are about 23 kids and my other son in 4th has about 22 kids in his class.

There is an awesome Science Lab and STEM Lab. There is even a cooking lab for the younger kids to learn real life applications of science in cooking. There are robotics teams and so many other opportunities. The principal is always pushing the teachers (99% of them are Gifted Certified) to the next level. There is high level parent involvement and the staff encourages it.

I really can't say enough about how pleased my husband and I are. We really feel apart of the Clark Creek Family. Close Quote
