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.

Clifton T. Barkalow School has its strengths, but overall, my experience there was underwhelming.

There's potential for improvement, especially in fostering a more supportive and creative environment. With some changes, it could be a much better place for students.
