[quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, Clopper Mill is a tough school.  I have several friends who teach there (I'm a former teacher).  The good news is that the staff are very dedicated to the students.  They have a lot of extra curricular activities that receive funding based on the school's population, which could also benefit your child.  I know one of my friends is active in the Girls on the Run program, and they have been preparing for a clothing drive and yard sale.  Not that your child would need clothing from the clothing drive, but it's an activity to get kids involved with helping others.  I don't know about parent involvement or discipline issues.

My spouse actually teaches at Clemente, the middle school, and loves it.  Some "challenging" kids, but because of the magnet program, if your child ends up being focused on school and academics, he or she would likely be in a little bubble of like-minded kids.  One negative is that there is some teacher turnover, mostly teachers who come in for a year or two and quickly bolt.  There are also a lot of longtime teachers who are very committed to the students.[/quote]
