Original Research by School Decision on Clear Creek High School
Clear Creek High School sits in Evergreen, a bedroom community in the Front Range foothills where most residents commute to Denver for work. The school itself is part of the Clear Creek School District No. Re-1, which serves the mountain corridor west of Denver. The high school occupies a location on Beaver Brook Canyon Road, set in the low-density foothills terrain that characterizes the area.
The school serves grades nine through twelve and enrolls a small student body. The composition of the student population is predominantly white, with a Hispanic student group as the next largest share, followed by smaller numbers of students who identify with two or more races and very small groups of American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Black students. About a quarter of the students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, which is a measure of economic need at the school. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the source record, so a family looking for detail on those programs would want to ask the school directly.
This is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet school, and it operated openly in the most recent data year. State testing data for the school was not available in the source record, so there is no snapshot of how students performed on standardized assessments in recent years. Similarly, the four-year graduation rate was not reported in the data provided. These gaps may reflect the nature of the reporting cycle or data collection for this particular school; a parent considering Clear Creek High would want to check directly with the school or the district for the most current academic performance and graduation outcomes.
The school environment data, including discipline statistics, course access, staffing ratios, and attendance rates, was also missing from the source record. This means the parent-oriented picture of daily life inside the building is incomplete from the data available here. The absence of information on Advanced Placement or dual-credit offerings means it is not possible to characterize the rigor of the academic pathway from this source.
The community context for Clear Creek High is Evergreen, a place that has seen modest population stability in recent decades. Housing values in the area are high, and the market shows a slight year-over-year decline in home prices while rents have increased. The median household income nationally, as a reference, has been on a gradual upward trend. The local unemployment rate has remained low and stable. The combination of high housing costs and a commuter-oriented economy means that families choosing this school are likely making a deliberate decision about living in a foothills community with access to Denver employment.
What can be said with confidence: Clear Creek High School is a small, regular public high school in a foothills bedroom community. The student body is economically mixed at a moderate level of need. The school operates within a district that covers a mountain corridor, and the community of Evergreen is an unincorporated area with high housing values and a stable population. The absence of academic performance data, program offerings, and graduation rates from this source leaves significant questions unanswered for a family trying to assess the academic pathway. A parent in this situation should contact the school directly for test results, graduation statistics, and details on the curriculum and support programs available to students.
