Summary

Clear Creek Elementary in Sanger, TX, serves 598 students in grades 1-5 and is part of the Sanger Independent School District (Isd), a district rated above average statewide. The school has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 37th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, with about half of its students (48.66%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating a significant number of families from economically diverse backgrounds.

The most notable finding is the stark performance gap between Clear Creek and its district neighbor, Butterfield Elementary, located just 1.91 miles away. Both schools have similar spending per student ($12,084) and serve comparable populations, yet Butterfield ranks in the 77th percentile (4 stars) while Clear Creek sits at the 37th percentile. For example, in 3rd Grade Reading, only 38.6% of Clear Creek students were proficient compared to 70.93% at Butterfield. This suggests the performance difference is likely due to factors like school leadership or instructional strategies rather than funding or demographics. Clear Creek does show a clear strength in serving its Special Education students, who ranked in the 61st percentile in 2025-2026, a significant improvement from two years prior. However, the school struggles with early math and reading foundations, particularly in 3rd Grade Math, where proficiency rates have been well below state averages for three consecutive years.

Compared to other nearby schools, Clear Creek sits in the middle of the pack. It outperforms struggling schools like Ginnings Elementary (8th percentile) and Evers Park Elementary (20th percentile) in the Denton Independent School District (Isd), but is significantly outperformed by high-performing schools like Nette Shultz (76th percentile) in Denton ISD and Blanche Dodd Elementary (58th percentile) in the Krum Independent School District (Isd). The school’s Gifted and Talented program has shown erratic performance, ranking in the 82nd percentile in 2024-2025 but dropping to the 46th percentile the following year, suggesting inconsistency in support for advanced learners.
