Clark Middle School

Posted May 12, 2007

We've been involved at Clark for a few years, now. In the category of 'principal leadership', I can't say that there is any: there's never any contact. Everything seems to be run through the school's vice-principals. Teacher quality is fine, but teacher communication is awful. You have to request teacher meetings to get any real information on what's going on in the classroom. Also, if you ask to get ongoing feedback from them on how your child is performing/behaving, they just tell you to schedule another meeting if you have other concerns. It shouldn't be so hard to get feedback from a teacher. Extracurricular activities are a major plus. Everything from theater to sports to academic events. Everything seems to revolve around the band, though. Orchestra and choral kids seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to practice rooms and events, though. Overall, a very decent school.

Hello, I am an Ex 7th grade student from 2004-2005 and I am going to give you my view about Adelle Clark. Negatives and Postives views. Yes, Clark did make me a A and B student and gave gave me wonderful achievement on my behavoir, but there are some dumb rules that drove me crazy. Homework: If your homework isn't turned in you get a form called a 'ZAP' meaning you have to get it signed by your parents and turned back by the school the next day and you will get a 70% and no lower or higher. I understand that, I just thought you should know. Lunch: Awesomely Good! How many periods are there? There are 9 total, I was exhausted by time I got home. Teachers: Some are Rude,They were rude to my parents. Extracurricular activities: Awesome expecially theater. School total: It's ok I give it (1-5) 3

My daughter attended sixth grade last year and is currently a seventh grader at Clark Middle School. She is happy there and has a positive attitude about the teachers, fellow students, and the programs offered. I feel that Clark is an exceptional school, with qualified staff and teachers and more than adequate facilities. The student teacher ratio is generally low and there seems to be very little student conflict/bullying. Clark utilizes an internet program which allows parents to view their child's day to day homework, test scores, and upcoming schoolwork. Their sports programs are good; generally youth sports in this area (Frisco/Plano TX) is widespread and participation is readily available for most students. Academics are strong, AP courses are available, band, art, theater, Spanish, and a course that seems to cater to engineering enthusiasts, are all available. We are impressed with this school so far!
