Clinton Public School

We just moved to the area and our students were starting 3rd grade. Teaching and administrative staff were extremely helpful and supportive of helping our kids acclimate to the new environment. The adjustment was so smooth and painless our kids decided this school was the best they ever attended:) As a result, they did very well academically and socially.

High Bridge Elementary is under rated. Because of some recent state funding, the town offers a PUBLIC PreK progam for HB residents for 3 AND 4 yr olds. The ratio of teachers to kids is great and my kid gets a fully enriched educational experience before Kindergarden. (I do believe the goal is to bring up test scores and nip any early developmental challenges in the bud.)GENERALLY my kids come home and always talk about the interesting things they learned in class and seem to enjoy school.My children thus far have not complained about bullying and have blossoming friendships. My children's homework mainly consists of reading books for 30 mins nightly.I think HB does a good job of educating our kids but also still just lets them be kids without over valuing academic achievement. They have a really good balance.The one strange thing that was appoved for the 2022 school year was there was only one nurse to service both the elementary school and middle school (since the buildings are sort of close in proximity). However, most parents were not happy knowing there wasnt a nurse close by. I am not sure how this is resolved for 2023.

Our preschool experiences (2& 3 years old programs) at ICS have been wonderful. My daughter loves going to school and seeing all of her friends and teachers! She has grown so much in confidence both academically and socially. The teachers are very energetic, nurturing passionate, and know each child's strengths and weaknesses. As a parent I am heartened to know that my child is in amazing hands.
