Clarendon High School is a low-income school, but the administration does a good job with the funds that are available. There is a lot of technology here that can't be found in other Arkansas schools. There are smartboards in every room and laptops available to the students. Most of the staff are dedicated

I've had lots of supplies taken from my classroom, some student work has been vandalized, and I've witnessed many fights. Our principal has dealt with these issues well. The school is in academic distress, but is working toward proficiency and making progress. Like all schools, it has its good points and bad points, but more good than bad I think. Read less

Good athletic program and above average academics. While their math program is lacking, their english and science departments are very good. I enjoy going to this school.

As a college student who has attended Clarendon High School I can see that there is definite room for improvement. Classes at Clarendon would not have prepared me to survive at a university, had I not gone elsewhere for an additional education. Students were not taught to write MLA-cited papers, analyze
... Read more literature in depth, nor were they taught to take notes during a lecture. While a general education requires one to know how to write lab reports, these were not required of students at Clarendon High School during my time, only three years ago. There is a decent choir program although it does not perform outside of the school, itself. Unfortunately, the majority of school's support goes to its football program, at the cost of some students' academic improvement. I pity the majority of children who attend this school in the expectation that he/she will be ready to attend college. Read less
