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.

Clark High School has given me a moderate experience with High School . The school has made a lot of good and bad memories I believe the teachers try they're hardest to get the students engaged in class and overall an okay experienece, some changes would really only have to be made to certain rules in my opinion!

I have had 2 children go through this school. One is a high achieving honors student who had a relatively average experience at Clark. Minor issues but nothing out of the ordinary.
