Clarke Middle School

Such a great place to learn something

We think this school is one of the biggest jokes around! They do not focus on education in hardly any way, but rather "mini courses" such as water parks. They have weeks off of school just for the kids to return back to class for more "mini courses". Students who's grades are poor are not being given proper instruction. Communication between staff and parent is non-existent unless it involves them wanting money. The teachers not only allow but almost encourage students to be lazy with assignments and projects instead of requiring the work that needs to go into things. The school seems much more concerned with making it APPEAR that their students are getting the education and success they need so they can get more government funding, rather than actually giving the students the education and setting them up for success. We strongly feel this school is all about appearance rather than honesty and integrity when it comes to teaching our children. We have two other children who are of much younger age, one at Koenig Elementary (which IS a great school) and an infant. We WILL be moving out of this school district before our two younger ones are of LB Clarke age... guaranteed!

I think this school has made HUGE gains recently! If you don't believe me check out the Wisconsin Stats! The new improvements are going ot be wonderful for the students, a whole new "feel". I persosnally see this school going back on the list of the top schools in Wisconsin. I have also been a teacher in many other districts and I have never seen such a group of dedicated, truly concerned teachers.
