School Reviews
2 5/30/2011
This school is a joke and it is sad that the children in this area have to go here. Just look at their American Flag that has been in shreds all year long. They are disrespectful to our children and play favorites like THEY are immature kids. Alot of the faculty lie straight to your face. I would NEVER recommend Clinton County Schools to anyone that loves their children. If you can avoid these schools it is to your best interest. God bless and good luck!
