Is Clark a good high school?

[brewercm]

Hey Joshua, they also have that new school going up over here off of Bulverde Road I think next year, possibly the next. It's supposed to be just as good as Reagan if not even nicer.
Besides then you could become a NE sider.

Joshua.....I live down from Clark in Shavano...built our house 13 yrs ago when there was nothing at DeZavala & 10...I mean nothing. First thing that went up was Taco Cabana! It is a good area...but getting crowded lately...I love MY HEB and will be happy to share it with ya....Clark is a good school...but like the rest said...kids are kids...and it starts at home as to how they conduct themselves...

As a Churchill grad...I say Clark is bad! :lol

But now... Clark isn't ALL THAT BAD! I wouldn't have any problem going to Clark.

Go figure, that must be why we like the same beer, too many keggers ;)

REMEMBER THE GUCCI BOWL?

I remember going to school with this guy Martin` Fuentes who had something like 6-8 cars, but his "daily driver" was a VIPER. Yeah, he was 16, wrecked it, and daddy bought him a new one. Too bad they got deported.

Where have I been this morning? I just noticed the thread. I have been teaching at Clark for 12 years and have seen some big changes in those years. It is true that the parking lot with the nice cars is the student parking lot due to all of the upper socio-economic levels in the area. Although, the dynamics of the school have changed. A few years ago, when they tore down the Victoria Courts, they (the city) made almost all of the Wurzbach and Woodstone area apartments into Section 8 housing. Many of those students, along with others moving in, now live in that part of Northisde. Clark now services some of the wealthiest and poorest families. Along with the section 8 housing, we have experienced some problems that are obvious. Yet, the population will be thinned out when Brandies (the new H.S.) opens.

I know that I am looking from the inside out, kinda like the way my Dominion kids rag on their neighborhood being ghetto. Even the way the dynamics at Clark have changed throughout the years, Clark is still a great school in comparison to others. We still score tops in Benchmark, TAKS, and Advanced placement tests along with O'connor and Health Careers. I don't mean to rag on other Northside High Schools, but the superintendent went in this year and cleaned house of all administrators and is making all dept. heads re-apply.....so I guess I could be worse.

I also live in the Clark area and will have my kids come here.

If you use standardized test scores as a measure of good, Taft usually ranks around 4th/5th. I did my student teaching at Taft twelve years ago. Nice school.
