This is my first time reviewing Clark Elementary. We are a family of Immigrants from Brazil and Clark Elementary was not in our priority option due to low ratings and the lack of more precise information.Now our son is on his way of finishing his first week at Clark and we are very pleased to see him happy and engaged with his new friends.The Principal, Mr. Fjodor Dukaj, changed our perception of the school. He is absolutely engaged in changing the school numbers for the better. He is a young and energetic immigrant just like us, which gave us comfort and a sense of diligence in transform Clark in what it was before, a stellar public school.I will be coming back to add some more words on this review later on.Thank you Mr. Fjodor for your commitment and to all school staff that is working hard to accomplish this goal.
