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.

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.

Clay High School was an overall satisfactory high school. I was a part of their Career Tech program, specifically in agriculture. The program not only taught me subjects related to my field, but also employability, financial responsibility, and safety protocols. I always felt safe and accepted by the faculty, and the school provided many ways for students to have fun and connect with classmates.

I feel I have had an overall okay experience at clay. I have been in the marching band and swim team which are great programs to be apart of. Clay does have many programs and clubs to be apart of. They have many career tech programs. The only thing I notice wrong is that they put most of their money and investment into certain sports like football and not other sports.

I personally have loved Clay High School and everything it has to offer. It is a great learning environment with many opportunities. I have made life long friends through the school itself and many clubs/extracurriculars it has. I am involved in soccer, softball, yearbook club, and student government here at Clay. All of these clubs are well established and organized.

The teachers do not help students who need more one on one with certain areas they are studying. The sports programs are very expensive and even if your child makes the teams does not guarantee they will play but you still have to pay for them to sit the bench. If you are family or friends with some...

Clay is an excellant school with teachers that do really care about their students. In response to previous post, new gym was built around 1990, and football uniforms are bought by the athletic boosters. Parent involvement is what you make of it, some parents are very involved and some could care le...
