About Us

Clarkston is a highly regarded school district with an enrollment of 8,000 students. Our campuses cover a combined 418 acres and 63 square miles. We have seven elementary schools (K-5), one middle school serving grades 6-7, one junior high school for grades 8-9, Clarkston High School, which serves students in grades 10-12, and Renaissance High School, our alternative high school.

Each Clarkston Community Schools' student is fully engaged in a globally focused education, from preschool through graduation, that fosters in her/him a sense of self, perspective, responsibility/ownership, and contribution.

Our high school facility includes state-of-the-art technology, a Performing Arts Center, Olympic-sized pool and top-notch athletic facilities. In 2006, we opened a brand new Early Childhood Center.

Rigorous, highly comprehensive curricular offerings enable our students to prepare for future success. Clarkston's reputation as an outstanding school district is well established: We have two national Blue Ribbon schools and six others have earned Michigan Exemplary Blue Ribbon school status; Clarkston was recently named as Forbes Magazine's Top Suburbs to Live Well, citing our graduation rates and class sizes; our state assessment scores and Education YES! grades are among the best in Oakland County; and year after year, our graduates earn more than $5 million in scholarships.
