We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall high school experience was great. The school's usage of a simple yet effective administration system ensured that all components of the school were taken care of to a certain degree (some more than others).

My overall experience was pretty positive but could be better. There are many bathrooms closed around the school, many students smoke or vape, not enough emphasize on dual enrollment opportunities.

Clarksburg high school has its highs and its lows, From an amazing music program that's under funded to Having to deal with cruel teachers with bad tempers, One of my best experiences as a Clarksburg student was going to states with my classmates and Getting gold medals , while some of the lows have had to deal with school safety from being in lockdown where there was someone with an weapon in the school to losing countless football games, even though we knew we sucked, clarksburg is where I've made Lifelong friendships and Have found people who I hope to never leave

As a parent, overall I would recommend this school. My daughter graduated in 2024, had many great acceptances for engineering school, is very well prepared and thriving in college. There is good and bad just like any other high school. But I cant rave enough about how the APPS program was top notch....
