My child is very happy in his first year at Clifton. It's important that he be happy, but, I also appreciate the excellent staff and abundance of activities. The Clifton staff made the transition from elementary to middle school easy and enjoyable for both me and my son.

My daughter has transitioned so well into Middle School life and I'm so glad we stayed part of the public school system and didn't listen to others that were private school snobs.

His grades are A's and B's and 1 C, and he gets free afterschool tutoring as often as needed. I work full time, but I am involved as I can. I join PTSA, go to the school evening funtions, and generally attend everything that my son is in. If his band is playing, I am there. If he is in tutoring, I randomly stop by to check and thank the teacher. Read less

This school is ok. There are many fights and bullies though. The 6th grade year for my kids was always hard but when 7th and 8th grade came along they were fine. They are many little 'groups' and your kids will need to join one just to fit in with the school kids around him/her. I don't think it is a

I'm not a parent, but someone who actually went through the school and graduated. I have to say, I loved this place. I learned a lot of things there...things that helped me excel in High School. I made many friends there through the Choir, Band and Tall Flags. Being a part of this school's alumni list
