All 4 of my children have gone to this school, and I have never had a real issue! Not with the staff, not with the disciplinary methods and not with the teaching methods. I would highly recommend this school to anyone with elementary kids!

I have 2 children in this school, one is in 1st grade, the other is in 3rd. Aside from my son not being matched very well with his his first grade teacher, our experience has been very positive. The principal, Julie Stout is professional and accommodating, The teachers are great, the staff is great. I had the pleasure of working for this district as a sub in the cafeteria as well as a bus monitor. I worked at several different schools, including Clermont and I would recommend the sxhool, as well as the district to anyone.

Horrible school, upsetting because we wanted so bad to stay living in the area. Teachers could not be more unprofessional. My child came home crying several times due to a teacher sharing with the class they have a family member dying in the hospital. There was another situation that I stopped personally by involving the authorities. Would share what it was but you would yank your kid out if you knew.

We had a horrible experience with a kindergarten teacher. She was annoyed by my daughters separation anxiety and she made matters worse by yelling at her.
