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.

The teachers are nice but some of them are not. And some are terrible and write you and get you in trouble for everything. Dress code is aggravating, rules are aggravating, teachers be aggravating.

My experience at Clinton High School was great. Freshman year I was just learning where things are and making new friends but the teachers helped a lot. They make it so you can learn the material easily by explaining and they really want to see you pass and graduate on time. We have really good sports teams that won state championships and academics like duel enrollment classes and AP classes that challenge us but helps a lot for our future and college. They also reward you for having good grades like banquets and ice cream parties. I'm currently taking duel enrollment classes now in my senior year and I like how we can take college classes now to help out our future. A much better laptop would be very helpful since the one the school provides is good enough for the work but struggles a lot and drains battery very fast. In conclusion my experience at CHS has been very positive.

The staff and teachers of Clinton are one of the kindest people I know. They care about their students and their future. Highschool is hard but having teachers there to listen and help the students makes it easier. That said, I wish that the students would do their part in keeping the school clean. The cleaning staff does a great job picking up after us. I hope we will take care of this school to keep it clean.

This is the greatest little high school in the upstate! We moved from a larger high school to Clinton High School this year and the teachers really work with my child to make sure she is successful. Go Devils!
