This is probably the best school I have been to in a while. Great teacher, made lots of new friends, and a happy environment. Great recommendation. Close Quote

This is the best school in the area. We have generations of family that have attended it. I am actually moving out of area and hoping that they become a choice school so I can still send my daughter to the school. I feel that it is a school that helps children and doesn't ignore special needs. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD last year. All of the staff has done everything that they can to help her and stay focused. Clinton Public is a community that strive to better their children and continue to keep them on the right path. The sports programs are incredible, the teachers and staff are amazing and helpful and the school itself is beautiful and welcoming. Close Quote
