My overall experience with clay-chalkville has been incredible. The connections I have made and the experiences I was able to go through really helped me along the way. This is an amazing school!

The best part of the clay-chalkville is the culture as an black girl going to a majority black school I liked that they hired black teachers people from the same struggles, back ground, and history as the kids. The worst part is they didn't care about academics only football. We would have plenty of football ball sport rallies never a Academic rally honoring people with good grades, just good game.

The best part about attending clay chalkville was when I joined their Color Guard team. I felt like I didn't belong or couldn't connect with my peers until I joined the team. the team brought out great aspects to me as a person. I was always shy and never socialized much until I joined. Another great experience was meeting new teachers. throughout my 4 years of attending there I've made some great connections and relationships with my teachers. if I ever need help or anything it doesn't matter what it is they always find a way to provide the services I need to become the best I can be in life. when I first got to clay I got bullied a lot and it brought me down as a person. I had more insecurities than most girls at my school because at the time I didn't look how everybody else wanted me to look. along with that came mental issues but I worked and prayed hard everyday to change and take control over my life. My junior year was one of the greatest and worst year of my life. clay is home.

Both Clay Chalkville Middle & Clay Chalkville High is by far the worst schools I’ve ever encountered. Times have really changed over the past years and the schools are horrible now. It’s sad to say but they have really torn that school down.

Great School Great Teachers! However I'v been sending my children to the Chalkville school system since 1993 my last child graduate this year in 2017 and I must say the school has changed and I can't say for the best. I'm just glad it's over.
