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.

It has been a decent year, there was not much to dislike nor like. Clark High School had given me the average American High School experience.

Clark is a good school. Not the best but certainly not the worst. The best parts are being able to see friends and meeting people you've never seen before. There are many students that you don't know 20% of them. The worst parts are the food.

I love the mega lunch period. The German teacher is amazing. The building itself is fairly clean for a school. The layout is straight forward. The principals are nice as are the teachers. Everyone is willing to help you.

My child's honors chemistry teacher seems to be distracted by his personal cell phone while teaching and is very rude. My child can't get the help she needs because of this and is worried to say some and have consequences from this teacher. It's unfortunate seeing the teachers that are hired now. Es...

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. The other is an above average student who is interested in learning but had trouble in the highly disruptive classroom...
