Summary

Clearwater Creek Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 522 students in Olathe, Kansas. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are exceptionally strong: the school ranked first among nine nearby same-district elementary schools in all-grade English language arts, math and science.

The school’s all-grade proficiency was 73% in ELA, 77% in math and 74% in science, higher than both state results (46%, 41% and 38%) and Olathe district results (59%, 58% and 46%). ELA is its comparatively least dominant subject: its lead over the district was 14 points, versus 19 in math and 28 in science, and Forest View Elementary was about 1 point behind in ELA. Grade 4 is a relative exception: Clearwater Creek was slightly behind Forest View in ELA and behind Prairie Center in math, though it remained above state and district results.

Results have improved over the four reported years: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 13 points, math 9 and science 34, although science fell 4 points from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger ranks Clearwater Creek 18th of 657 Kansas schools, at the 97th percentile with 5 stars; its percentile rose from 88 in 2021–22. The school also has the largest enrollment and highest student-teacher ratio among the nearby comparables: 16.3 students per teacher, versus their 11.6 average. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 13%, the group’s second-lowest, compared with a 51% nearby average—context, not an explanation for results. Chronic absenteeism fell to 6% in 2025–26 from 26% in 2022–23, compared with 13% in Olathe and 18% statewide. One notable subgroup result is the rise in SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic students, from the 35th percentile in 2021–22 to the 88th in 2025–26, a 53-percentile-point increase.
