This is an excellent school for students to attend. They offer a large variety of courses for their size.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted January 29, 2007

Year by year, the Clearbrook-Gonvick HS continues to be a disappointment. Rather than maintaining the teachers who actually prepare students for college, the administration chooses to listen to a few disgruntled parents (and fellow teachers). Advanced placement or other college-preparatory courses are basically non-existent. Furthermore, sports is seen as the top priority in this community, above and beyond that of education, while music and the arts are minimally supported. In preparing students for college, I give this school a D+, especially now that the best teachers are gone.
