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.

Clayton High School's education has been absolutely incredible. Their music, theatre, and fine art programs are the best in the area. Teachers make education intuitive, and encourage studying, and employ ways to make studying fun.

It shows it's age, and is ran like it too. I don't miss it. It's in need of revitalization, mainly to it's academic facilities, and the press box of the football field.

I love the community that my daughter is in and also the resources that is offered. The district takes their time to accommodate you and meet your every need if possible and if not find other resources to assist. I feel included with the parent teacher engagement and the other parents in the community although I do not live in the district. 5 stars here
