Clemmons Elementary

We were very fortunate for my grandchild to attend this school as her first school experience. She was sad to have to change schools. There is a certain sense of professionalism accompanied by sincere and caring teachers. High expectations are clear, and as well they should be. This is why the school remains one of the better schools within a wide radius. Student success is based on the curriculum, the teachers, the administrators, and of course parent and student participation. Support your school, wherever it is. Thanks to Southwest Elementary for setting the standard for my grandchild.

Some of these comments are just rude and untrue! THese parents are spelling word wrong and not finishing sentences! I am a current 5th grade student at CES and I love it.I'm not on of those popular,cheerleaders.And I'm usally not in center attention but I still get noticed.If something wrong the teacher's will notice right away. When there is bullying(that doesn't happen alot) the teachers,staff, or principle handle it calmly and kindly and everything later turns out fine.Clemmons Elementary is a very welcoming school everyone is treated like family! When I graduate this year I will never forget this amazing school.

This school does have / has had some very good teachers. However they now have a new very uptight principal who has very few people skills and "rules with an iron fist.' He refuses to acknowledge kids who make straight As while giving lots of attention to those with substandard performance. I think many of the teachers are retiring or leaving because of him. I would agree with the previous post about the PTA, image is a lot at this school and if you don't "fit in their box" well, your thoughts and opinions just don't count. Yes, there are some bullies, many from overindulged environments but I focus on my children and how they respond or react to these situations. These things happen everywhere. So, overall a decent school with some good teachers, but the leadership keeps everyone so uptight, it is hard for them to teach at the top of their game.

This school has gotten a new principal and assistant principal during the last two years. The atmosphere here is open and welcoming. The school is a great school with really high performance expectations. My kids are valued and cared for by their teachers. The teachers expect the kids to do homework. They are required to read daily and to read additionally at home. This is wonderful to me. My kids are doing very well here. Also, I would add that the school administration is very approachable and low key. They want the kids to enjoy school, have fun, but most of all learn. I know of occasional issues in my children's classes, but the teachers and administrators have done a good job addressing issues.
