Clarence High School is a place where I was truly able to develop my character as a whole. In both an academic sense and personal sense, I have found a multitude of interests through my classes and clubs. I love all of the advanced class options, especially the dual-enrollment programs. The variety of academies and music/art options presents ways for students to make the most of their high school experience.

I absolutely love the teachers at high school. They are very encouraging and overall people who are very trustworthy. They put their students first over themselves and make sure everyone succeeds in some way. At school I think the idea of vaping or smoking should be changed. There are others that do not enjoy that type of harmful chemicals and should be banned from the schools.

The District is financially broke. I just came to this School District and they cancelled three of my child s classes. Class sizes are between 27-32 students/class, not 15. Don t waste your time, choose another school district, go private or go to Williamsville.
