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.

I had a great experience at Samuel Clemens High School. I attended this high school for 4 years which provided me with many learning opportunities and always had ways for students to get involved.

Overall my personal experience at Samuel Clemens High school has been pretty positive so far.

I believe that the greatest shortfall for Samuel Clemens is the administration. Though they do care about the students safety, they take safety measures in the wrong way which ultimately inconveniences students. They care more about students walking in the halls and wearing id's than they do about troubled students or students in need of help.
