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.

I've went to Clear Spring all of my life, it's a great school with an amazing sense of community. I personally enjoy the fact that this is in a rural area because classes are more focus on the students success. It's a very nice school with great staff and students; Everyone knows's each other and helps each other be successful.
