I enjoyed going to the school; however, there were many things that needed upkeep. Like the Gym bleachers hadn't been cleaned since last summer. The building's exterior walls needed pressure washing. The roads needed repainting, along with a pressure washer. So in short, my negative reviews were due in part to mere negligence.

Clinton High School is just amazing. Down to the teachers, coaches, and students. The environment is very safe and organized. I have never felt out of place at Clinton High School and it is basically a second home. Education is an important factor there, which is why it is an "A" rated school. I can definitely attest to all of the positive things said about my current high school.

I do enjoy the connections you end up building there, but as far as SOME faculty, I feel they can improve there.

After talking to nearby neighbors, I am convinced she will continue to succeed. While meetin...

Genuinely excellent school! I've taught at two schools and the former was considered by be an excellent school as well. Clinton blows other schools I've experienced out of the water. The pass rate for the AP exams are phenomenally good and many AP classes are offered. I wouldn't teach in ANY other d...

Clinton High School in Clinton Mississippi is not a good school for students. They do not provide what is vital for a students education, they don't have good staff (Some teachers are ok), and the admins are terrible, they do what they think is good for a students education when really it's not the...
