Summary

Clear Creek Elementary serves 425 students in grades K–5 in Shelbyville, in the Shelby County area. Its most important pattern is that 2025–26 proficiency averages were below district, state, and nearby-school averages in every tested subject, with writing showing the largest shortfall.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with the district and state: its average was 35%, just 1 point below the district and 5 points below the state. Writing is the clearest concern, at 15%—16 points below the district, 20 below the state, and 17 below nearby schools. There are some grade-level bright spots: third-grade reading was 45%, close to the nearby-school average of 45% and above the district’s 42%; fourth-grade reading was weaker at 38%, compared with 48% in the district and 52% at nearby schools.

Results have improved in reading and science, but not across the board: their averages rose 14 and 18 points, respectively, from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while writing fell 6 points. SchoolDigger ranks Clear Creek 537th of 684 Kentucky schools, at the 21st percentile and 1 star, up from the 5th percentile in 2023–24 but still below the nearby-school average of 45. Its 14.1 students per teacher in 2024–25 was lower than the nearby-school average of 16.0. In 2024–25, 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 42%; this is context, not an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for how well the school serves White students rose from the 6th percentile in 2023–24 to the 32nd in 2025–26; for Special Education Students, it rose from the 17th percentile in 2022–23 to the 35th in 2025–26.
