W. Tresper Clarke High School Reviews (2024)

Rating 4 out of 5

For the most part it is a wonderful school but more clubs are needed for the non sports kids! Diversity is on the uprise but still not where is should be.

Rating 2 out of 5

This school is full of bullies, including the parents. The administration are too close to the parents and to clickie. There is drug problems and the administration just hide the problems this school have instead of actually fix is them.

All white teachers! Some doesn't know how to teach but was placed to teach AP classes which is not fair to students who want to get better knowledge and grades. Only few teachers are really teaching with hearts. Also, this school doesn't offer enough AP classes to study and 9th graders are not allowed to take any AP classes so this limited students to show their ability to study advanced or college readiness. I personally think this school district could be better but need some time. Have so much room to improve. Overall, not a bad school district though. It just needs some changes to be better.

W. Tresper Clarke High School isn't the best school in the district but it also isn't the worse. It is a relatively small school and it is easy to get to know everyone in your grade. Some aspects of the school, like the food and the rats, aren't exactly things that make the school good. It actually makes it worse. The teachers are great for the most part and I have learned some valuable information there. They give students a bunch of opportunities academically and guidance counselors are relatively good at supporting the students. Some rules aren't exactly helpful and only irritate both students and teachers and there are definitely more important things the administration should be focusing on other than bathroom usage. Overall, W. Tresper Clarke High School is a decent school.

I am a current junior at clarke. I have lived in the district my whole life and my brother graduated as well. Most teachers are so helpful and the counselors are amazing! Clarke students are pushed to their best and the teachers want them to succeed. Would send my child here!

W. Tresper Clarke High School has its best features in its societal elements like diversity in the community and interaction with alumni, parents, and staff. Although not well equipped with much resources, equipment for academics and sports, and quantity of staff, the environment is somewhat friendly and peaceful for a decent educational experience. The policies could be worked on like with using ID cards to scan into using bathrooms and the lunch room, as well as not being able to go to lunch when having a free period. More outside interactions and activities during school hours could make more memories and experiences worthwhile in a student and staff’s stay at W. Tresper Clarke. This High School, compared to others in Nassau County, is slightly above average in educational rank and my personal views.

Rating 5 out of 5

W Tresper Clarke High School has been an astounding experience so far in which I have many opportunities either academically or extracurricular. There are many AP and college classes offered that help prepare students for college, also giving us opportunities to gain college credits early and get a head start on our academic futures. The teachers are involved and engaged in students academic and personal lives, trying to help us as much as possible, not because it is their job but because they care for us. The sports are exquisite opportunities for physical health and shows an individual to work as a team and be a leader. Overall, I would say W Tresper Clarke High School is a great school for students to attend and learn abundant amounts of skills and academics.

The faculty members are not just teachers; they are mentors who foster a passion for learning and personal growth. Their dedication to cultivating critical thinking skills and fostering creativity in students is commendable. Moreover, the school's emphasis on creating a safe and inclusive environment ensures that every student feels valued and respected. One of the most impressive aspects here is its wide array of extracurricular activities. From sports teams that have secured numerous championship titles to arts programs that have produced award-winning performers and artists, there is something for every student to explore their passions and talents. The school's commitment to fostering well-rounded individuals is evident in the diverse range of clubs and organizations available.

W. Tresper Clarke High School is a great school in a great location. Long Island offers a lot of academic opportunities such as good colleges, easy access to New York City and more. Clarke is also situated directly next to BOCES Nassau which has a lot of specialized classes that are good for people going into specific majors or careers.

I loved my experience at W. Tresper Clarke High School. They have an active community where students can engage in many events that stir up a lot of school spirit. The clubs conduct volunteering opportunities and chances to make new friends.

Rating 4 out of 5

Clarke High School is where I met some of my best friends in life. The education is good and the staff do care about the kids. However, there were instances where administration swept things under the rug and did not have the best judgement for what was right for the students. Another thing is that there needs to be better math teachers many of us had problems learning in the way those teachers taught.

I had a good time at W.T Clarke High School. I meant some of my best friends there and I had some amazing teachers that really helped me get through the last days of school while I was struggling. During my last few days at Clarke I had a hard time getting up and going to school because I simply just wasn’t a school person. I had talks with my guidance counsellor and the school therapist and talked to them about how I was feeling. They helped me in every way they can. A lot of the students at Clarke were not very nice though and the school should really start preaching more about bullying and have more assemblies about it because they truly don’t see how cruel people can be. Overall tho I had a good experience though out my 4 years and I would recommend this as a good school to anyone.

It’s a nice school, academics wise it’s pretty strong I’d say we offer a good number of APs classes and other challenging college courses. I’d say we’re not the richest school, but we make up for it in our academic and other things.

My time at W.T. Clarke has been enjoyable for the most part. The most of the staff is friendly and tries to connect to the students. There are many resources given to the students. Such as volunteer service, tutoring, and mental health aid. There are many events that are fun for the students and are very interactive. Some issues with the school however, is the rodent problem. There are many mice that run around the school and it can be a cause of concern. There are also some teachers that are not that well suited for the students. Overall though, I think it is a good school and have enjoyed my time there so far.
