Clearfield High School

As a former student who has been going to this school for 2 years. This school is HORRIBLE the kids here are terrible and the staff here are terrible. They will take away your phone no matter what even if your calling someone they will take it away. And the food don't even get me started on the food. The food here was TERRIBLE the grill cheese made 3 kids throw up and the cheese is Moldy. And the cheese burgers were gross. And the school cannot mind there own business out of school if something happens out side school they are automatically involved Moral of the story is NEVER send your kid here

This school WAS decent from 2023-early 2025. New administration has taken over and they are disorganized, unfair, and do not communicate. Many staff are fed up. Things have gone astray and kids are not important here.

All the staff has been very helpful and kind. I am notified promptly and given adequate time to help meet the needs of my son.

Overall I believe that Vay view encourages a sense of community between piers and staff. My children enjoy going here and feel that they have friends, are safe, and supported from most of the staff. The teachers we have been with have been really good and supportive. The staff we have worked with are amazing teachers, I feel we have been extremely lucky with this because I have heard some of the worst from other parents particularly in the higher grades. The special Ed department at the school is lacking in my opion, doing the bare minimum to get by and isnt good at keeping you informed about childs progress or overall well-being. I believe maybe this department is just lacking in staff and support. I believe leadership could do much better at being involved and holding the special ed department accountable. I believe leadership could be better informed about working with special ed in general. Asking for extra meetings to go over or to review iep is like pulling teeth. The meetings are extremely unorganized and unprofessional, typically staff is unprepared and I have had countless things said in these meetings that seem unethical, unkind, and use of discomforting verbage. The overall support to include our Spanish speaking students in learning and activities is top teir. If you are looking for diversity, vae view has it and does an extemly good job being alot more inclusive than other schools I have attended. The issues you may face when going to leadership is denial and unwillingness to give you clarification on issues you may be having such as bullying, issues with teachers, issues with policies, and issue with following iep or 504 accommodations. I have been gaslighted, lied to and dismissed more times than I can count. They have a few split classes like 5th and sixth are combined. The school seems packed beyond its capacity. The building itself is run down, bathrooms are dingy, and you really feel like you are walking into the 70s. The school has an outdoor seating area in the center that i wish was utilized more, I wish they woud plant something in the planters and use this as a nice quiet study area, where kids and classrooms could come and go freely. The school councilor is really good checking on students who are struggling as often as needed. Overall the school could use stronger, more involved, and easier to work with leadership. Side note office staff and classroom aids are 10/10. Depending on your students needs this could be a good fit.

The school is great. The principal is awful. Some of the teachers are also combative and defensive when we tried working with them on issues my daughter has medically they spun it around on my child. Very accusatory and unwavering. I do NOT like the Principal or his style of administration or the way he treats the kids.He needs to be gone and not making decisions for children. As for his staff, I have had many wonderful encounters from teachers at the school with a few that are just awful.I'm pulling my child out so he can learn in a better environment at home. And yes....we did have a 504 plan which they would take my concerns for accommodations and make them very vague. At the end of one of our meetings, I was in absolute tears. My son will never be going back to public school again and If I had the money, I'd sue.
