It definitely prepares students for the real world and has many supportive teachers who know how to be serious and fun. There are many clubs, sports, and other activities for people to be involved in and find their space to be themselves and express themselves.

I would like after-school activity times and logistics to be more conducive to those who rely on parental transportation. The band instructors have a great rapport with their band members.

Bullying, partying, and getting into trouble at an early age occur more often than not in Clinton. There is little to no discipline for a child's bad behavior at this school. Kids get into fights with each other all of the time and get no consequences for their actions except maybe from their parents.

Our two daughters graduated from CHS. They had a very good experience overall and were well prepared for college. CHS has the best fine arts, honors/AP, and athletic offerings in the area.

The school continues to work very hard to improve student learning. They also work very hard to promote positive behaviors in students lives that will hopefully carry on with them the rest of their lives. Way to go River Kings and Queens! Let's keep it up.

Clinton High School is THE best high school in the area! From our academic accomplishments, to sports, to extra curricular activities...CHS offers it all. I am not only a proud alumni but a current parent and there is NO other school in the surrounding area that I would choose!
