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.

Clark Shaw gave my child a solid foundation for a bright future. Rigorous academic expectations coupled with faculty support and resources created excellent study habits, and organizational skills. It was absolutely the right choice for our family and child.

The principal is very outgoing and does a good job of keeping the parents abreast of what is going on. Magnet schools have more rules and that won't work for all students. The teachers and counselors are caring and students have a variety of electives, sports, and clubs that will expose them to other opportunities. I feel like they nurture the whole child and they are more than ready to be successful in high school.

I have hated my stay at Clark Magnet. I don't get in trouble or have bad grades, although I miss a lot of days due to asthma, migraines, etc. I have been bullied so badly I would come home crying everyday. The students who bullied me just kept getting warnings and never got in trouble except a few....
