You have got to be kidding me, is no one talking about the bullying that is allowed to go on at this school? My grandson for one is bullied all the time and they pick fights with him. His grades are falling and I personally know 3 parents who have pulled their child out of this school because the staff there does no more than a hand slap to the bully. Getting a one weeks suspension is a vacation to them. What about zero tolerance for bullying. Parents of these bullies need to be held accountable. Don't send your child to this school. Its horrible.

This is my daughter's last year at Clinton Middle and we're sad to see her leave. She has great teachers and a wonderful principal, as well. She has many wonderful friends there and I love them all. The Tipton twins are both teachers of hers and they are amazing. I hope she has teachers and friends as wonderful at her new school in NC next year.

I was worried about sending my children to middle school because of all the horror stories I had heard. After my children got the hang of the difficult transition between elementary and middle school, they became more interested in their studies, and also in activities offered at the school. We have been pleasantly surprised by every aspect of Clinton Middle, and would like to encourage others who may be apprehensive, as we were, about sending your children to this school.
