Clark Fork High School has a great social environment and a wonderful, friendly, small-town vibe. Unfortunately, the good points end there. The available courses are painfully limited. The heating often went out and students were forced in typical below-freezing Idaho weather to sit through class with a video of a fireplace projected onto the whiteboard. 84 is a cheap school district in general but the lack of funding or consideration they give CFHS saps it of the ability to provide any kind of aid or benefits to the smaller school. Much of the staff is inadequate, apathetic, and forced to teach outside their field of knowledge to students perfectly aware they could care less about actually learning the material. The principal of the school is amusing at first, but is actually a blatantly antagonistic, unreasonable, unprofessional, uncaring man. He runs on his own agenda and cannot be reasoned with. Even politely-worded and reasonable requests have literally been met with "Shut up, I don't care." Clark Fork unfortunately lacks the funding to clean up their act, and as it is, it is a poor institute of education. When asked by my peers, I tell them I graduated from Sandpoint.

Great sense of community at this small school. Beautiful surroundings, kind and compassionate staff, and effective educators at Hope Elementary.
