Summary

Clear Creek Middle School in Buffalo, Wyoming, serves 240 students in grades 6–8, and no other schools are listed within 20 miles. Its clearest strength is academic performance: in 2025–2026, the school scored above the state in every tested grade and subject, with grade 8 math leading at 80% compared with 54% statewide—a 26-point advantage.

Compared with the state, Clear Creek’s three-grade averages were strong in both ELA (72% versus 59%, a 12-point lead) and math (73% versus 55%, a 19-point lead). Compared with Johnson County School District #1, its average ELA and math results were only slightly higher, while grade 8 results in both subjects were just below the district’s: 80.3% versus 80.7%. Grade 8 science was another relative weak spot: 67% was 2 points below the district’s 69%, though 19 points above the state. There are no nearby schools to compare.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023: the average across grades 6–8 rose 4 points in ELA and 8 points in math, and grade 8 science increased 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks Clear Creek 6th of 76 Wyoming schools, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile is up 32 points from 2017–2018. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show notable recent gains: the school’s ranking for serving male students rose from the 69th to the 94th percentile, and its ranking for serving Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 68th to the 90th percentile. The latest student–teacher ratio was 10.6 in 2024–2025, when 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, up from 22% in 2022–2023; these are contextual trends, not evidence of cause and effect.
