My experience with Clarkdale High school was short, but a beautiful experience. The staff at Clarkdale High school are overall very caring and dedicated to their work by preparing their students academically and mentally. They teach their students real life problems that will be used not only in school but outside of it as well, which is very important. Aside from that, they inspire and motivate their students to try their best in everything they do.

I really like the community atmosphere, but we're not the best in sports or support. Overall, I liked my experience a lot, but I'm ready to go into a bigger school.

Well, I've been going here since eighth grade and have enjoyed every waking second of it. Friendly teachers, students, and, most of all, faculty. The campus is beautiful and I love all the students. People who have been going to Clarkdale since they were in Kindergarten don't treat you as a stranger...
