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.

Clearwater High School has a good amount of sports, clubs and programs to be involved in. There are many Honors and college level courses you can take. They offer a college and career center, and/or avid class for college. Administration and staff can be 50/50.

I am an upcoming sophomore to Clearwater High School. The best part about my experience so far, is when I was hospitalized for Intercranial Hypertension, they helped me catch up with all of my schoolwork. The worst part about my experience there, is the lack of respect that the students have for the teachers. Something I would like to see change is to have more clubs and also, to have more practices for sports.

Terrible the administration is full of children who just try to find anything they can to make the students lives as hard as possible. They have a strict dress code which is hard to follow taking away all of the students free will and categorizing them as if they are dogs. Its poorly run with teache...
