I'm a senior in this school and I love this school. Hearing so many rumors about Clear Brook about how bad it is makes me angry because all they've heard is one thing about Clear Brook and they actually believed it. I've been at this school and I like the people, the teachers, and the administrators. The school gives a lot of cool classes such as, CBTV, Chinese, French, and many other classes, not a lot of school can offer what Clear Brook has. Clear Brook students are unique. In many schools you see the types of cliques, the goth, nerds, jocks, and etc. Everyone here in Brook are all together. It's like Mix It Up Day everyday. I have to say that when I graduate, I'm going to miss this school and teachers.

I like the school. I am really glad they have the K12 for the parents can check and see how the child is doing from time to time. That is wonderful.

I have not been happy at all with this school, if I could I would go back to home schooling. Why is there no discipline from the school officials.

After attending three high schools, my perspective on the quality education Clear Brook gave me has changed since I was a student there. Brook offers a positive, diverse environment with teachers who are highly supportive and effective. All the extracurricular programs were phenomenal, I was involved in many of them. They offer a great chance for students to get to know each other in a healthy environment and learn what it feels like to have school pride. While there is a heavy emphasis on sports, there are few high schools in Texas that don't place the same weight on their athletic program. Within the Clear Creek ISD, Brook offers the best environment to prepare students for the real world beyond high school- whether that is higher education or private industry. I highly recommend it.

My daughter has benefited greatly from the Clear Brook HS Theater Department under the leadership and guidance of Ms. Donna Taylor. Ms. Taylor is phenomenal.

We have found our experience with Clear Brook to be positive and my daughter thoroughly enjoys attending school there. The office staff, principals and counselors we have met have all been most helpful and courteous. There have some teachers who are not willing to speak with a parent should a problem arise with school work, but most of the teachers we have dealt with have been easy to deal with and very willing to answer any questions or address any concerns we have. Parent involvement is good for a school this size, anyone not involved is not willing to be involved. We look forward to our daughter graduating soon and our other daughter attending Clear Brook High School.

Drugs and violence are present and obvious in this school. Running the school like a prison camp doesn't help. AP classes are great, but the rest are average or below average. When I was a student, the orchestra, band, and drama programs were alright, but I didn't really hear about visual arts. Athletics gets way too much emphasis, considering their records. The JROTC program was excellent. The parental involvement is minimal at best-- the school will send home formal, mass-printed letters upon occassion, and the report cards are issued by mail. A pre-recorded phone message will inform you if your student has any suspicious absenses, as truancy costs the school money, and they can't tolerate losing money that could be used on things like the football team. I transferred to Clear Lake High School for my senior year, and liked it there much better.

We have one student currently enrolled at Clear Brook High School (CBHS), and have had 3 others attend there. Two had excellent experiences and two had difficulty, one had extreme difficulty because they had undetected attention deficit disorder (no hyper-activity). CBHS has many excellent teachers and programs. However, for a student that has issues, like needing to be tested for attention deficit disorder (ADD), CBHS has offered very limited help! We had to have our student tested privately to determine that they were ADD. CBHS indicated that they would wait for the private test results before initiating any help for our student. CBHS also indicated that their process is very slow (30 - 90 days). In my experinece and opinion, the CBHS Administrators and Counselors are understaffed and tend to show more concern about the process than the student. It appears that CBHS prefers to export students with issues instead of helping them.

The most helpful information I could give on Clear Brook is that they have wonderful and inspiring math teachers. They have really good principals too. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Clear Brook.

At Clear Brook there is an abundance of opportunities for students to develop themselves. With one child attending there, and one who will attend next year,our experience thus far has been tops. Our innovative principal cares and is very visible on the campus. Our band teachers and parents are the best!

Clear Brook High School is an amazing school to be at. The teachers understand and help the students in any way possible. My daughter was a member of the Clear Brook Band, under the director of Mr. Mauldin, and she loves it. The band at Brook is awesome and going places.

I am a former student. I just moved to Indiana. I think Clear Brook is an amazing school. The teachers are great, the saftey is wonderful, and they have one of the best extracurricular classes. JROTC is found in most schools in Texas. I personally, if your kid wants to be in JROTC, think you should have them go to Clear Brook. When I went to Clear Brook I actually wanted to be there. If I was sick I went anyways and endured it while I could. I am thankful that I had the oppurtunity to attend that school. I am honored and I miss everyone; from teachers to custodians. Well that's all I can really say considering I have a limit on words. I'm just about out. Again, I'm telling you, as a former student, this is one of the best schools in Webster, Texas. Please choose it.
