Clear Springs High School

Only a few years old. Clear Springs is not a bad school. Out of CCISD I must say it is one of the best. All though the staff isn't the smartest and they are very persistent on stupid rules. They keep controll. I belive other schools are run a little better. But all in all clear springs is good. The teachers are all wonderful and friendly some more then others. They have wonderful programs you can exceed in. Education is wonderful. I love it :)

Great school, great academics, great extra-curricular programs, and a staff that works to ensure academics come first while still allowing the kids to be involved in multiple activities. Principal is not the brightest, but the rest of the teaching staff outweighs that.

As a senior this year, I have found the last few years to be disappointing to say the least. Many of the teachers and administrative staff are hard to deal with, display a surprising amount of ignorance, and routinely make no common sense at all. The school is poorly designed, and administrated even worse. It seems like many of the other schools are run much better and more efficiently. There are of course some good teachers but they are the minority, unfortunately.

All in all, it is a great school! I will be a junior this upcoming year and cant wait to take my AP courses. Though Im not looking forward to all my foot, shoulder, and back aches from all the book that the school loads on us kids. Seriously if the school wants more money they should never of spent it on getting us lockers. For the past two years I never used it. I could never get from one side of the school to the next and still have time to stop at my locker. And the SLC's our school puts us in? They do NOTHING. Oh wow. I'm part of this SLC, I get this lunch. Doesnt help much with where your classes are placed. And I feel as if the staff could definatly refine their planning skills. But all in all GREAT PLTW PROGRAM!! WOO!!

I LOVE this school. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I don't know what people are talking about with bullying, I have not ever experienced anything like it. Most everyone is friendly towards each other, and the school work is challenging but not too hard. I have nothing but good things to say about the school and would be distraught if I ever had to leave. I am VERY proud to say that I am a Clear Springs Charger.

Clear Springs is a great school. It is a really fun school, too. I've been at it for both years. It offers lots of extra-curriculars that most schools don't have. Also, to the person who said that they don't teach enough vocabulary, I had atleast one vocabulary test each week for most of the year and it wasn't an AP Class. Plus, everyone makes typeos now and then.

This school has some great programs to offer and the school is still nice since it's new. My child has had all Pre-AP classes and is doing well in his classes. He's always been a popular kid, easy to get along with, yet here he has kids bullying him. In all of his school years, this has never happened. The adults at the school turn a blind eye to what is going on. I have heard from other parents that this is happening to their students too. It seems to be a lot of the same kids doing the bullying yet the administration and teachers do nothing. This school could be outstanding with all the programs offered (Culinary Arts, Auto Tech, Veterinary Assistant, etc.). It can't be placed in that category if the students hate going because of other kids.

A wonderful school. My only complaint is the number of out of district parents sneaking their kids in. Hard to blame them.....it's the best school around.

It has been a wonderful year at Clear Springs in 2009, with all the extra-curriculars offered at this school. HOSA, Debate, Media Tech, and Tennis are some of the funnest organizations I could possibly join. However the honors classes are quite challenging and rigorous. I think the homework load should be lowered a slight bit. Its way too much for a student to handle... But the teachers, counselors and administrators work wonderfully with me throughout the year. I am fully proud to say that I am a Charger!

And that is why you can't spell especially? I feel there is not enough attention placed on spelling, phonetics, or vocabulary. My grandchild was in AP classes and had 0 spelling or vocabulary skills.
