The best part of my experience were the teachers and staff members at Clinton, who all showed a true interest in the success of students and most of the time did their best to help. The worst part of my experience was the extreme workload put on students on top of the IB deadlines we already had to meet. Something that I would like to see change is more support in the science and math departments at Clinton.

A few of his teachers were fine. But for the most part, the teachers don't really care about the cha...

Our experience at this school was a huge disappointment. During COVID, there were 100 kids in a class and the vast majority of students didn’t turn their cameras on. My daughter lost ground academically in high school and it was impossible to be in touch with most teachers, the vice principal, or th...
