The leadership at this school is painfully absent. The principal is non responsive. My son graduated last year and -- like another parent said -- I had to enroll an army of tutors to get him through. A few of his teachers were fine. But for the most part, the teachers don't really care about the challenges the students have and the principal completely ignores the needs of the kids. It's unbelievable how bad it's gotten. I have another kid in middle school and I absolutely won't send her to high school here. Do yourself a favor and don't bother considering this school. Unless your kid is perfect, i.e., can process a huge amount of work in a short period of time and adhere to every deadline WITHOUT help - maybe this is the school for you. BUT, if your kid is that good of student, there are far better schools to send them to!!

Our experience at this school was a huge disappointment. During COVID, there were 100 kids in a class and the vast majority of students didn’t turn their cameras on. My daughter lost ground academically in high school and it was impossible to be in touch with most teachers, the vice principal, or the principal. I believe that experience was also indicative of how things are in normal years. There’s not much support and no opportunity for students to make their mark. Because it is a pretty new school, there is no real school culture — no history of clubs and activities that fosters excitement about being at the school.

My son is finishing his 9th grade year at Clinton and I am thoroughly impressed with everything about this school. A very difficult pandemic year has been handled from beginning to end with thoughtfulness, care, and high spirits.

Challenging school on so many levels. Parents are often the last to know about homework assignments and deadlines --for new middle schooler. Shifting and changing protocols seem to be the norm as they attempt to finetune and improve their systems. Woe to the parent who isn't paying close attention and misses an email. This school works for a highly motivated child, who loves being independent, is excellent at time management, exceeds in self-advocacy and requires little to no support. For an average child who is a pretty good student, I would steer clear. My remote learner is expected to organize her time two days per week with little/no class instruction just as if she were a college student.

The middle school used to be amazing but now it is unrecognizable. The high school is terribly managed and it has horrendous impacts on the students’ mental health and stability.
