W.T. Clarke is a great school with many positive factors to benefit student education. The teachers are among many that support and influence not only me but all of my classmates to do their best on classes and especially have taught me how to advocate for myself to benefit my education. There would not be much I would change except for the food because many people would rather eat when they get home than eat the lunch food but that is really for every school I feel.

Overall, Clarke high school is a small but diverse community with lots of opportunities like carpentry which makes us unique. Although we don't offer as many history or economic classes as I would prefer I've had pretty good experience with teachers and making connections to further help me in the future.

As a parent of children of the MS and HS I will admit that I really love the MS. But, I will attest that the administration, counselors and teachers in the HS are there for the students and parents.
