Summary

Clear Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Shawnee, Kansas that serves 503 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the highly-ranked De Soto school district, which is ranked 12th out of 264 districts in the state.

Clear Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Kansas, with students performing significantly better than state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 76.96% of Clear Creek students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 61.14% in the De Soto district and 44.47% statewide. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade ELA (81.25% proficient) and 4th grade Math (78.75% proficient).

While Clear Creek's overall academic performance is exceptional, the school has a relatively low percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (10.74%), suggesting that it may not be serving a representative cross-section of the community. Nearby schools in the De Soto district, such as Mize Elementary and Riverview Elementary, also perform well academically and have similar demographic profiles to Clear Creek. However, Clear Creek's consistent top-ranking performance within the district and the state suggests that it may have some unique strengths or practices that contribute to its exceptional outcomes.

Teachers are a joke. I went here as a kid, my sister did, and my son will finish his 1st grade year here then I am moving him to another school. Bullies everywhere, teachers are bullies as well. Not a good learning environment at all. Close Quote
