I've been happy with the teachers that my children have had (I have 3 children who have been at Clarke). However, overall, I can't wait for my kids to be at another school.

Caring teachers but administration is not very helpful or concerned. School seems to focus on nothing more than the students passing the TAKS test. There is a talented program for above average students but there is nothing truly advanced about the classes that challenge the students.

My child just began school here at Clarke this year. The staff is very rude I don't like talking to them. The school expectations of the student is not down to earth. I see why by the scores.

As the parent of a very unpredictable child I really enjoyed that fact. When a mistake was made it was not dwelled on but learned from and then put behind you. We really enjoyed our time at Clarke!
