As a parent, I am very disappointed with the teacher quality at this school. I would estimate that 75% of the teachers spend class time talking about topics unrelated to the subject matter, are not capable of explaining the topics in depth, or unfairly favor certain student demographics over others. My son attended elementary and intermediate school in the same school district and the teachers there were much better than the teachers at this high school.
Yes, the Fine Arts Program is the best around. At least the choir. The Clear Creek High School Symphonic Choir has been invited to sing for TMEA convention 4 times and the ACDA National Convention 3 times (both HUGE deals). Their Chamber ensemble has taken first place for the past 3 times they have competed in the American Classic Madrigal and Chamber Choir Festival. They also hold the record for the most TMEA All-Staters from one school in the entire state, 13. The Clear Creek Choir program holds up a standard of excellence like no other.
Outstanding school. VERY diverse student body, teachers and staff. Dedicated and involved teachers and staff, if the student wants them involved. If you WANT to succeed, you are given EVERY opportunity. My son (Class of 2009) was in the Fine Arts school, and currently enjoys a 90% College scholarship because of it. Anyone saying the Fine Arts is lacking is GREATLY mislead. Current son is an athlete and enrolled in the Engineering school. He is doing wonderful. His mother and I have always been involved in school and activities. We always meet with the teachers at the Open House, and stay in contact with them throughout the year. Anyone with negative comments most likely are not involved, do not know the facility and staff, and most likely hear the bad comments from their student who blame everyone else for their bad grades, etc. Terrible parent involvement. I guess children are not that important to some people. Perfect example was the parent that blamed all the other parents for not taking her child to band camp!!!
If not for the current principal, CCHS could be a a quality school and offer a quality education, but the principal makes sure that does not happen. It is racially and economically VERY diverse (I don't have a clue where the parent got the idea the teachers don't know how to deal with people of color unless her child was not given special privileges). I had no problems with anyone at the school except the principal.
