I attended Clarkston High School at the beginning of my junior year after moving from Ohio. I had never before encountered such mean kids in my life. I was ridiculed by several classmates every day, my grades fell, I became very self-conscious and introverted, and I hated going to school. The administrators told my parents it was something that I needed to "resolve on my own " without adult interference. How do you handle it on your own when it is allowed to continue every day? I was extremely grateful to finally transfer to Our Lady of the Lakes at the start of the second semester. It was the best thing my parents could have done for me! The students and teachers were very welcoming and nice and they do not allow bullying or mean behavior. There are also other good schools to consider, as well. Just make sure you choose what is best for your child. It really makes a big difference!
I like the layout and and I enjoy the Csmtech program that is so challenging. They have plenty of electives and the sports are great as well.
if you are not an athlete or at the top of the class no one gives a flying flip about you.
I have a child at Clarkston High School and I can't believe how over-crowded the building is. Also, the only sport the A.D. cares about is football and basketball, .
I have found many faculty to be less then average on their subject knowledge and very poor in communicating with parents. the building leadership is very weak
School has great teachers and pushes its students to achieve the best.
I went to Clarkston. I think that this school is awsome. I had some of the best teachers in the world.
The teachers, the cafeteria, performing arts center, library, and sports facilities are great! I loved my four years at Clarkston High School
Terrible. It may be a newer building, but it has the same old low Clarkston standards. Good sports, but that is all.
There are many academic and extracurricular activites at CHS, but the way the school district works has become highly political in the last few years. CHS has become a totally different environment than it was 8 or so years ago, an not necessarily in a good way.
