Clark intermediate is a mess of a junior high, having good but mostly bad qualities. Good teachers are very rare, many are incompetent of their jobs and biased towards certain types of students. Learning is average, they have excellent honors/advanced courses from what I’ve experienced. With other class experiences, ive heard are very less engaging and boring. Pretty great performing arts and academic teams, although would be better if more money and support was put into them, especially with academic teams. The school environment is the main problem, there’s almost always fights and problems, always being dealt without much effort. Bullying problems are especially bad, according to friends, terrible support for victims especially from admin, terrible “help” from teachers. Speaking of teachers, many are bad. Some teachers just don’t know how to teach the curriculum, many racial inequalities/biases in classrooms, rude teachers, not to mention some very inappropriate and unsettling teachers/staff if u regard a recent scandal with one of their former counselor and seen experiences from myself, though I’ll be fair some staff are very excellent if you’re lucky!!! Sports are very highly regarded and get the most time and effort from the school, many awards and support are given to those in sports. Though all I wish is more support was given to academically well students. Band/choir are especially amazing and great as well, getting money from the school well. All in all, I would say your better off to going to a different junior high, but if it’s your only choice all you can do is think of the positives! And I swear there is many, there are tons of great people to outweigh the bad people, some great teachers, fun classes/experiences, just a chaotic somewhat fun experience:) still sorta happy to start 8 grade lol!

Staff can be as rude as students.

We currently have a few kids in Gettysburg and one that has graduated and is now in Jr High and have nothing but positive reviews of the school. We love the family community at Gettysburg as well as the experience our kids have had at this school. There are some truly incredible teachers at this school, and like most schools, there are a few teachers we would not prefer but have learned to navigate through. The school is both economically and racially diverse. They are super competitive in academics and athletics. Our oldest was incredibly prepared for Jr High, even while navigating through Covid. We are super excited to see Gettysburg continue to excel and develop the kids in our community.
