I have the Rose Etudes, Klose big book, Rubank Advanced 1 and 2, Opperman Velocity studies. I have a general idea of what I'd take a high school student through but I'm interested in what others are doing. Thanks Keith

For my advanced high school students, I generally use
Klose and Baerman scale studies.
Sometimes Kroepsch
Polatschek and Rose Etudes
A solo work (solo de concours book, Mozart, Weber, Debussy, etc).
My younger students, I generally start in Rubank.
When they finish the first book, I get them in the Pares Scale studies, Rubank Intermediate, and "the progressing clarinetist compiled by Leon Lester.
Then the Advancing clarinetist. Once they get that far, I get them on the "advanced" high school track mentioned above

The Galper Clarinet Method. I like it better than the older Clarinet for Beginners (also by Galper)

The clarinet ability level and dedication to practicing of high school students can vary greatly. No two are alike and often their skills and technique have multiple gaps - especially when I haven't started them as beginners 
For the more advanced ones, the usual progression of methods, with overlap, is:
Klose Complete method - all except the duets
Rose 40
Klose 20 technical Studies (Drucker)
Rose 32
Kroepsch Books 1 and 2
Rose/Rode - 20 Studies
Cavallini 32
Arban trumpet method - selected studies/exercises
Every lesson also requires a prepared duet and a sightreading duet (my choice)
Prepared solos, orchestral excerpts, etc... as needed.

I love the Melodious and Progressive Studies books (David Hite) as a pre-Rose introduction to etudes. I also find it's easier for kids to connect the reasons why we do technical exercises to these key centric etudes. I like to assign a certain technical exercise to each etude as a gradual introduction into Baermann 3. It's nice when you have time to introduce this gradually during the Middle School years without all the pressures of difficult repertoire thrown at them in High School.

A lot of times younger kids won't like playing scales all of the time, so maybe add some sort of duet book depending on their level. Duets are always fun for the students to play with the instructors. As we all know a lot of school programs are getting rid of the music departments, so it's up to us to support the kids as much as we can and keep them interested in music.
Just a thought!

Galper Clarinet method for most students. Though I've had a few students which it moves too fast or the students have difficulty reading the music. After Galper 1, then Galper 2, Hite Melodious & Progressive studies, then the Rose. (I follow the Royal Conservatory fairly closely)
Though my high school students over the years have ranged from me having 5th and 6th graders who could run circles around them to students ready to study music at a conservatory or university music problems. About typical is a 13 or 14 year old usually at about an RCM Level 4, though quite a number are Level 2 and below.

What about Alfred Uhl? I was made to plough through these as a student. Probably very good for me but I can't say I enjoyed them.
