Clemons Creek Middle stands out as the higher-performing school in the area.

Clemons Creek also shows a more positive ranking trend over recent years. Academically, Clemons Creek outperforms Slayter Creek in several key areas, including 8th-grade Reading (56.40% vs. 39.47% proficient) and 8th-grade Social Studies (34.68% vs. 17.54% proficient). Additionally, Clemons Creek has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (45.44% vs. 55.13%), a factor that often correlates with academic outcomes. Both schools report a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention.
A major strength for both schools is advanced math, with Algebra I proficiency rates far exceeding the state average—84.62% at Clemons Creek and 67.27% at Slayter Creek, compared to 54.03% statewide. However, a critical weakness is grade-level math proficiency; only 19.67% of 8th graders at Clemons Creek and a concerning 9.3% at Slayter Creek were proficient in 8th-grade Math, well below the state average of 47.24%. This suggests a "barbell effect" where a select group excels in advanced coursework while the majority struggles with core concepts. Slayter Creek's 8th-grade scores are particularly low across Reading, Math, and Social Studies, signaling a potential systemic issue at that grade level that parents may want to investigate further.
