I used to be a student attending Clymore Elementary. Now I attend Stewart Middle School as a seventh grader. The education I recieved was great. I enjoyed the whole experiance I had at Clymore. The teachers were great and the staff was very friendly. When the time came to leave Clymore Elementary, it was a depressing thought of leaving. I loved the school and the teachers. Thanks to all my teacher I had through the whole five grades: Mrs. McCray, Mrs. Coffman, Mrs. Karicofe, Mrs. Leeper, and Mrs. Eberly. Thanks for all the teaching, because it paid off. Clymore is the best elementry school for any child beacuse of its warm, sensitive care.

This is the third year that our son has attended Clymore Elementary. We have found the entire school experience to be excellent. The facility is the finest in the area with outstanding computer and technology resources. There is very well attended and organized PTA with good parent/ teacher communication.The administration is hands on, very visable and quite accessible. Overall, I have never be exposed to a finer learning environment and am thankful each time I walk through the front doors, that me son attends this wonderful school.

This is our first year at this school after transferring from a private school. We have been very pleased and our son has done very well. Only complaint is that it sometimes feels like the curriculum is very rigid (probably due to SOL's) and monthly assignments are basically parent homework, not student homework. Would like to see more programs involving the arts.
