GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 experience at Clarkston High School had ups and downs. Some of the best parts of my time at Clarkston High School were making close friends and creating lasting memories. As well as getting involved in activities like tennis, garden club, etc. Some of my worst experiences with Clarkston High School were the pressure to fit in and social dramas.

Clarkston High school was my home from 2014 till 2018 when i graduated. I gain lifelong friends and made genuine relationships with the faculty and staff. The best thing about Clarkston is the diversity and culture shock to the students. In our high school, you will hear more than 10 different languages walking through the school hallways. It opens your mind to the world and forces you to become more cultured in a way. I love my experience in that school and I wouldn't change it for anything.
