Clear Creek ISD reviews educational outcomes Clear Creek ISD officials reviewed beginning-of- year assessment results to reflect on the progress of academic success within the district at the board of trustees Oct. 14 workshop. What you need to know At the beginning of the year, CCISD tests elementary grades in reading and language arts, or RLA, and math. In both courses, students improved from year-to-year, except for kinder- garteners in language arts, which saw a decline in scores compared to the 2023-24 school year, according to district documents and data. Trustee Scott Bowen said he felt like learning loss from summer could be reason why some students, particularly in math, are under goal entering into the next grade. “If ... we’re seeing that fall-off then maybe that should inform some of our actions,” Bowen said.
