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.

My overall experience at Clark has been pretty good, academic wise. There isn't much to do at our school, but to talk to friends, study and do good in school. There are clubs, but many of the clubs don't do much because there isn't really much to do.

There is a great variety with AP courses offered and a strong emphasis on academic readiness. However, when it comes to competitiveness to four-year universities, there is room for improvement. Universities emphasize well-roundedness, which comes from extracurriculars, passion projects, participation in sports, and exploration of the arts and culture.

First off, the amount of homework the teachers in this school give out...

I’m finishing my freshman year here, and I’m gonna be transferring to a different school next year because it’s been too hard for me, and because the school is focused more on robotics and engineering and all that stuff, which isn’t really my cup of tea, but besides that my experience was mostly pos...

Personally as someone who has attended clark as well as has had many family members and friends go to clark I must say there is a lot of exaggeration. I won’t lie there is a lot of work that comes with a lot of stress. Realistically freshman year is the hardest so you have to push through. It is a m...
