The best parts about Clarinda High School would be the sports. Clarinda has a really good football and volleyball team, they also have a really good weights program as well. Something to change would be some of the academics or add to the extra classes you get to take.

It is a small and friendly school that treats students with kindness. It gives all students equal opportunities to be involved in anything the want. The school provides the student body with many extracurricular activities to allow the students to get involved and make new friends.

The teachers at my high school are very good at what they do. They are very helpful and provide an excellent learning program. They like to be there for the students without getting too deep into their personal lives.
