Clayton High School has been a place where students honestly don't take advantage of the opportunity to learn. Clayton gives some outside activities to help, but students don't care. I will say, If the students are willing then they will get the education they need. Clayton is also very prominent when it comes to sports.

They have gratitude, but yet they're not structure and don't have a sense of regulations that they stick to always changing.

I've had two kids graduate from here fairly recently and if it had been this bad when we first moved here I would've move...
