I moved to Clarion not too long ago and have loved the school ever since. The teachers are welcoming and very caring. They always find different ways of teaching material and make it so the student actually take something away from it. The only thing I would change is having more diversity in food and activities. Having some more diversity in this school will positively impact the school as a whole.
