Love that it is small and I feel like we have a little more freedom because we are a small school. I moved to this school the 2nd semester of 7th grade and I'm so much happier! Great teachers,coaches, and guidance counselor!!!

Its dark and dismal. It has the appearance of being filthy. There is a total lack of respect for student opinion. Unless of course you are related to a teacher in some way. The average student without connections is treated as if they don't matter. If accused of any infraction they are guilty with out any truth seeking efforts. They are bullied and told not to complain so much. Don't defend yourself either or you will be punished. So of course these kids stay in trouble and are then labeled as such.

Pretty unorganized. Children fall through cracks. No emotional support.

My daughter & I loved the 3 years she spent at Clanton Middle. Mr. Finlayson, the principle, always greeted students & parents alike with a smile and a few friendly words. The teachers were great, and the kids seem to be happy. I miss her being there, since she's now in her first year of high school. It would be great if Clanton Middle could be considered for America's Favorite School!

Verbena Annex and HS have been great for our family. My daughter was sad school ended last month, she likes going so much. My only issue with the administration is lack of communication with parents regarding homework assignments or tests. It would make a big difference to receive a group email each week with a summary.

My son is in 3rd grade (first year at CIS) & so far I am pleased with our experience.

I graduated from here and my son will start as a freshman here this fall. I feel like CCHS is a quality high school that is growing at a very fast pace.

My son is in 3rd grade and only 2 of his past teachers were actually great. The teachers i didnt like have issues with children being kids and should find a new career. His kindergarten teacher was aweful to him and was mean and yelled at the kids and snatched his snack away from him and threw it across the room because he left it in his backpack. I do not like this school for the most part because of the teachers. I would recommend moving somewhere else instead of putting your child in this school. I am already seaching for somewhere else to live to take my kids out of this school. Its rated far better than it should be. I also went to this school and hated it back then and quit when i was of age because of fights and drama that went on there. Thankfully i was able to get my GED despite the lacking of learning from bad teachers. Only a few are exceptional and great at their jobs.
