Clark Primary is far different than it was when my first child went to this school in 2003. Back then, there were very good teachers & students were very motivated. Sadly, many good teachers left. Curriculum wise, it doesn't challenge the students enough; less or no homework is given. Communication

Clark Primary has an excellent and well trained staff! I love the routines they set in place and I really like the way they teach children how to be more responsible and how they need to behave around other children.

While the teachers are kind at this school, the children are not challenged academically. My daughter attended this school for two years and her interest in learning dropped dramatically. I made every effort to get her tested for advanced placement or classses. However, advanced classes are not available
... Read more at this school. All children are taught on the same level regardless of learning abilities, and the children do not get homework until 2nd grade. The school only services PK-2 grade. I feel she will not be as prepared for 3rd grade as she should be, considering she is an A student. I will have to place her in an educational center to catch her up academically. This school also has no extracurricular activities, such as plays, christmas programs, or graduations. Stay involved in your childs education, if you have to send your child to this school. Read less

Clark Primary needs to re-focus on education and less on discipline. The school only educates the children minimumally. The children learn what is required but nothing more. This isn't a good school for chidren who have already experienced early education. The children are not being challenged. This
... Read more school also has a disciplinary system called a 'Responsibility Card.' This isn't a good system. The children are responsible for carrying this card around throughout the day. Any teacher can mark comments on the card and your child may be subject to disciplinary action for these markings, but because so many people have the right to mark this card, you don't know who to contact should you want to discuss the comments. Clark Primary gets a failing score. First graders don't have spelling test or regular homework assignments. Extracurricular activities are scarce and the school is surrounded by low-income housing (apartments)and gang activity. Read less
