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.

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.

For a small MS school, Clarkdale teachers do well when teaching students not only academically, but they also teach children how to be amazing people. The teachers do not mind taking some time out of their day to better educate their students. Though Clarkdale is like home to me, it does not come without its faults. Though most teachers on campus are gentle, some are more harsh than others. And, even though the teachers are kind, the same can be said for few classmates. It may be a small school, but it has big talk.

People who have been going to Clarkdale since they were in Kindergarten don't treat you as a stranger...
