this school were pretty bad and small building, bad community and many people using drugs and break school properties, few activities for students and education there is very unprofessional. Many students are failing, i felt like the teaching system here are not serious for students, your kids will learn nothing there but a bad environment and people, many students getting trouble and fighting . The condition is not good, the restroom its only works one place and barely restroom there. the building is very old too. i highly do not recommend this school, send your kids to other school.

Im a current student at this school it is honestly horrible what the teachers do to these students at one point at my time in clarkston high school I was really depressed not because of other students because of the teachers. At one moment I had enough and almost killed myself because of what the teachers had said to me I would strongly recommend other schools like Park View high school.

I honestly enjoy learning at Clarkston High School! The teachers are pretty effective. The diversity at this school is substantial! You will see teachers and student of all background.

I enjoyed my time at this school, with my friends! You will make friends easily. However, if I didn't have friends here, I would probably not even bother coming to school. The teachers makes me feel terrible and you can't even talk back to them. It's awful. But, with friends and if you join simple clubs like Band or the Culinary, it makes it easier.

I've been at Clarkston my whole high school experience. I'm now a senior in the graduating class of 2016, and I've enjoyed my time here. Clarkston is a very diverse school and there are people who like to learn. I've been lucky enough to have found myself here, have teachers that have cared (a handful didn't.) , going to college and found life long friends. I've been able to find a good bunch of people here. It's how you make it. I mean, it's high school after all. You can call a school "lame" but not doing anything about it. I enjoyed my high school experience and would do it all over again!

Clarkston High school is a school of diverse student of which most of the teachers are very helpful and guide you when you are not doing appropriate things . They teachers care about you and help you proceed to the next level (college). But the only problem is that their are few students who are not willing to learn ruin the reputation of the schools image and hence people have negative attitude towards the school.

I am a former student of Clarkston High School. I would first like to start off by saying that this school has a few select teachers that truly love to teach and are there to help you learn, they assist excellently. The staff, however is a completely different story. Many staff members, assistants, secretaries etc. are fouled-mouth and unproffesional, as well as the other majority of teachers. It is not a comfortable safe environment for everyone, many of the students are disrespectful as well, as well as loud and just plain rude. The receptionist for the school does not talk eloquently and is not very friendly, the counseling office is always on about 100 different schedules not knowing how to work together to help students, parents, and visitors. Itrust me everyone has a different story, but mine happens to be negative. I am so glad I'm done with it! Overall, if you are someone who is respectful, study and do your work, you will do fine, there is no need to worry, just focus on achieveing what you came there to do despite the chaotic environment.

This is one of the worst schools ever. The teachers are basically there to get paid for doing nothing. There is absolutely no motivation in this school system. Majority of the students here are gang affiliated and the administrators are very rude and conniving. Transferring out of this school was the best choice ive ever made. The teachers and administrators are to blame because they gave up a long time ago on the students and these students lack the support and resources many schools around the nation have. Dont ever send your child here!
