Just look at the test scores, that speaks volumes! Deplorable! If you live in the area, and can afford it, don't have your child go to this school. Go private.

I am a graduated student, and i am now in high school. Things might have changed, but the goal is still the same, to help children learn to learn. I visited the school over the summer, and there was the same bronze goal by the front entrance. As long as the goal is still there, the learning process with get better and better! GO CUBS!!!

School staff is so rude and not friendly. My daughters teacher can't even make it to the line when schools out we have to get them from the classroom. And they never open the gates when they're suppose to. I'm SO GLAD that she is not going to that school next year!!!

I don't like how clyde cox deals with us parents. After school, they keep the gates locked tight and herd us in like cattle at the last minute. Parking is terrible! I once called to ask if they were coming out to unlock a regular unlocked gate site and I was lied too. No one ever came and I was then late in picking up my child. (along with many other parents.) There were no apologies. When calling the office, phone manners are rushed and quick to hang up on us parents. This school refused to work with me on my childs track the year prior, even though my spouse was having a serious surgery. The person I spoke to told me that it wouldn't matter if there was a death in the family! I give 2 instead of 1 star because my child has a good teacher.

The school was a nice school until the new principle started and then they just went down hill from there. I am so glad that my daughter will be attending another school. I was never notified about any event especially not about ny daughter award ceremony. And for the amount of people trying to get thier students. They would only open two gates that everyone would have to go thru. And the staff is horrible and they think that they are their parent instead of you. One of the ladies was trying to interfer by not allowing me to talk to the nurse about what time my daughter needed to take her inhaler. Very unset. All this is just a taste of the mess we had to deal with.

I think that Clyde cox staff is very friendly and loving to all there students and parents. My son had a wonderful year at Clyde cox. They respond quickly to safety issues that arise and that's a big plus in my book.

Not enough attention paid to the bright students. They are lost in the shuffle. Testing to locate these children needs to begin earlier.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing.
