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.

Clarksburg high school was a great school and I enjoyed my time there. We have well educated and respectful teachers, teaching in their respective fields. There is many resources available to help students who struggle whether its academically or mentally or physically. The only thing is that there is overcrowding so some of the resources and teachers are spread thin which causes less detail to certain things.

The best part of Clarksburg is the school activities, which showcase school pride. In addition, it is great that there are so many classes to choose from with many different AP options.

I had a pretty good experience for the past 3 years at Clarksburg high school. I am excited to continue my senior year at Clarksburg. some of the best parts of the school is the fun activities that are hosted such as homecoming and prom. Some of the worst parts of this school are the fights that occur. I'd like to see a significant decrease in the number of fights occurring at this school, and for it to be a safer environment.

There is good and bad just like any other high school. But I cant rave enough about how the APPS program was top notch....

My son entered as a Junior in 2019. We found the school to be supportive and an excellent place for him socially, even though it was two times larger than his school in Louisiana. The academics, counselors, and teachers were excellent! I was pleasantly surprised at the engaged, hands-on approach of...
