I have been very happy at CCES. The teachers are awesome. The staff is excellent. Everybody works together to get things done.

I have two boys who have attended this school for three years. One in K thru 2nd and one in 3rd thru 5th, so we have covered every grade this school has to offer. I cannot praise this school enough. The principal is an excellent leader and mentor to each child. The teachers have all been loving and encouraging. The parents are friendly and helpful. They have the whole package from excellent test scores to a motivated and caring staff. It will be sad that my youngest daughter will not benefit as well because we are moving away. I will truly miss the wonderful family we have at Clear Creek Elementary including the car rider greeters to the front office!! Job well done!
