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.

Overall, Clairemont is a fairly positive learning environment. Most of the teachers do their best to make students comfortable and set them up to succeed. The Academy System, however, could use some work. It divides students in different academies from seeing each other during classes. Making it just so you have an Academy Specific class would be better in my opinion than always being with the same kids. The food also sucks.

It is a very academic-focused school with great staff, a lovely community, and good connections to local colleges. Very open arms and a zero-bullying policy. Very safe and secure school. There are academic majors that focus on business, medicine, and science.

The school environment is great, I love how connected I am with other teachers. They are really family to me. The only small downside to the school is the academies, you are with certain kids throughout your high school years. Overall, great school, very supportive staff and pushes you for success.

Under a new principal, Clairemont High School is taking great strides in the right direction to improving our school. The leadership is taking great initiative to make sure that all students, regardless of their backgrounds, are being given an equitable educaiton and chances to participate in campus...

This is my second child at CHS. Both have had excellent experiences. This is a perfect fit for us and I can't imagine another school being better for them.
