Clements causes a lot of anxiety for many students, who can be straight A students at their middle school, yet when they arrive at here suddenly they are 'average'. Not a great deal of compassion is present from the administrators either. If you enjoy working the hardest you've ever worked in your

I really don't know. People say that Clements is a wonderful school and all, but in reality, well at least in my opinion, it's awful. The teachers are inconsiderate and gives so much homework every night so that it's mandatory to stay up until 12. They give tests and quizzes every single week, sometimes

I had straight A's throughout middle school, but now I barely have a B. This is not just my problem, it's also true for a lot of other students. The teachers here grade hard, gives loads of homework everyday, and all they have to do is just sit there and grade papers. All classes are just 'self learning'. Read less

I'm sorry to say that I have been extremely disappointed with Clements. The teachers I had were sometimes unfair and seemed to care for the top students more. I thought that teaching quality and experience varied greatly even between teachers teaching the same subject. The Preap/honors classes I took

The learning environment and extracurriculars are fairly good. This school looks great on paper due to the demographics. In the end, this school was not for me, since it was just too competitive (academically, socially). I thought the facility is not adequate for the large student body. I think Clements may be good for some talented students, but the vast majority would thrive elsewhere. Just my opinion... Read less

This school is extremely hard as far as education goes. To compare the work i do to the work of kids from some other schools its crazy. The social and athletic competetiveness can get crazy. Just about everyone who goes there strives to be the best and it can seriously damage some people.

I graduated from Clements a few years ago. The students at Clements are very motivated, high achieving, and get accepted to many top universities. Yes, it's rigorous, and some of the teachers are ridiculous and unfair, but that is life. There will be some ridiculous professors in college that students

On the other hand there are some decent teachers there who care about their students and love their job. The fine arts program in particular is very strong. All in all, Clements helped me in college in terms of work ethic and study habits, but I guess it's all what you make of it. Read less

If you want to rank the education it provides, this school deserves a 2. If you a looking for healthy competition and look upon the strength of the school as an evaluation, then this school easily scores a 5. First, the quality of the student is far superior to any other school in its districts. When
... Read more Clements is at its peak, it has more PSAT Semi-Finalist than all the other schools in the district combined, but this quality comes from the student's insanely strong abilities. Many of the elites have placed in the top 10 in nation before coming to high school. As a result, the competition is insanely hard. As for teaching, this school is pretty inconsistent. While there are decent AP teachers, but the school as a whole is weak at teaching. The teachers usually love to focus on strong students and have an unfair bias toward others. Read less

I went to Klein HS and to Clements. Both were wonderful schools. Clements has amazing teachers and I remember studying so hard to keep up my GPA.

Although Clements is a nationally recognized high school, I believe that the quality of the teachers is significantly below average.
