i have been a student of clara barton high school for my entire high school career. to be honest, this school is amazing for students interested in the health careers, however, many children come to fool around which demeans the school. also, the staff pick and choose who to be nice to and target children who don't need to be. i was a part of the medical assisting program and that was the only reason that kept me motivated to continue to attend here. certain teachers are heaven sent, but many faculty prioritize the wrong things. also, there are many fights which makes the school seem less than. to be honest, it should be a test entry school.

Clara Barton has been a good school for me there has been a lot of ups and downs. I would say that the worst part of my experience would be some of the fights that have happened in the school and the way students treat each other. The best part of my experience would be joining a major in the school and also the different resources such as clubs ,Sports, advisors and many more.

This school is absolutely terrible. Parents, if you plan on taking your kids here DON’T !! you will regret it immensely. It’s unclean and the amount of people who bully others based on simple things is incredibly bad. Do not send your child here. I do not recommend this school at all!

This school is horrible everyday and sometimes I wish we were online again. Every year we lose our freedom from stupid rules caused by only a group of students. They take charge on when we use the bathrooms and not all of them are available on every floor because their Locked. We don’t get to move f...
