GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience with Claxton high school has been fairly good. We aren't one of the top rated schools but the kids who do truly care about their academics are committed to learning and excited to be in the classroom. My favorite part of the school are the fine arts programs such as band. They truly allow students to grow not just academically or as student but as people. These settings allow us to truly explore and express ourselves and figure out the kind of people we want to be when we graduate and move into the work force or college. I am beyond grateful to be apart of these programs.

I have been a student at Claxton High School since I was 6 months old. My mom is also a teacher in this school system. Claxton High School isn't a bad school but I do not believe it is rigorous enough for college preparation. I have always been held back due to others in the class not learning as quickly as me.

If you have any intention of your kids going to college, think seriously about another school. The study habits they teach barely get you past high school. Much less a university.
