Clarendon High School is an excellent small high school. They have superior teachers, an excellent principal, and offer many options for a small school. When students graduate, they are well prepared for college or other career pursuits. The entire school district is great with leadership from a very good young superintendent.

Great school w/quality teachers and a super principal. Community is nice (small, but nice) and the facilities are more than adequate and well maintained.

I am not a parent of a child who went to Clarendon High, I am a student, and I would like to say that the teachers are wonderful not only in extracurricular activities, but in really caring about the students and helping them understand something. I would reccomend anyone to go to this school.
