This school has been great. I have a child entering the 3rd grade this year. We have been impressed with his first 3 years of school. All of his teachers have been great. I can not speak to the middle or high school part but the elementary is great. They have an awards day every grading period to

I am a current student at Clements High School. Im a senior in the graduating class of 2009. I have attended this school since I was in Kindergarten. Over the years I've had no problems. That was until I got into high school. This school and its principal operate on 'who you know' system. We have a few

At least one of them my parents had to get involved so I could get my grades on progress reports. Well anyway before I get started on a rant. All I am saying is that some of the teachers are wonderful and will really prepare your child for college or the real world. But some of the teachers will teach your child nothing. Read less

I was a student and now a parent of Clements. Things haven't changed much, just different faces, same bad attitudes. Unfortunalty my family is happy in the area with their friends and activities.

Overall, I believe that the Clements School Faculty is doing a really good job. It is so exciting to see so many teachers, including coaching staff, and etc. that are Christians, who share their faith by their lifestyle and love towards the children and their parents. As parents and guardians of our

The negative comments are so true. This school is so bad (teachers and asst. principal)that I moved during the summer as far away from Clements School district as I could. I'd rather go to jail than send my kids to that school! That is no lie or exaggeration!

I graduated 20 years ago, but I can see that things haven't changed as my niece and nephew go there now. In the lower grades, you don't see it so much, but watch out when you get to high school. The elementary teachers are still great!!! It does matter what your last name is when you enter high school!!!

It just gives them what they actually need to make it in college. Without the advanced degree, a child will stuggle with college. I live in the school district and home school my children as I would not send them there. Read less

Clements isn't as great as people put it out to be. Teachers play favorties with the students. If your child isn't a teachers favorite then they have a harder time getting help from teachers.

My youngest son graduated with an advanced diploma and said the he found out in college that Clements didn't prepare him adequately. He said that he felt the teacher was qualified but wasn't able to actually teach the material. I attended Clements as did both my sons so I feel that I can say that Clements

I also have heard that since Mike Owens left as principal discipline has declined but that the athletic support has increased. Overall, Clements is a good school. I do think that the overall parental support is poor. Read less

My kids have been going to Clements since they started school and we have never had any problems. All the teachers my kids have had have been extremely helpful and caring. As far as the comment about being rich what school doesn't ask for money?
