Clarksburg High School is an excellent school with opportunity for all students.

I graduated class of 2020 and attended Clarksburg all 4 years. If you are wondering wether or not to move here because of the school, I say do it. It's a fine school with fine people so your child will make due. And as a word of advice to parents, listen to your children and genuinely think about what they say. Many people my age are extremely stressed, overwhelmed, and depressed, do you want to be a part of that?

My son is a junior and is receiving a fine education at CHS. But let's be honest, the school is irrelevant if his parents don't set high academic expectations and give him the resources/environment to achieve them.CHS has received low scores in equity categories. This is an intractable problem if the parents are not brought into the solution at least as much as the student. The home environment and example set by adults is critical. How can a student work tenaciously toward a fulfilling future when she is raised observing adults waste their time in front of a screen. Children require a home environment conducive to learning, and thus academic success. Parents must be commanded (yeah, I said it!) to1) Turn off the TV and all devices.2) Abandon all non-educational use of the internet (FB, IG, Twitter, TikTok, etc. is for losers).3) Stand ready to help with homework until it is completed. Even if you don’t know the subject matter, be resourceful and learn it with your child.4) Read books written by renowned academics on complex subjects.5) Set *extremely* high academic expectations (expect A’s, question B’s, teacher meeting for anything else)All good-intentioned efforts to help underachieving students will continue to fail if they do not equally involve their underachieving parents.P.S. If this post hurts your delicate feelings, you’re consuming it with the wrong part of your brain.
