My kids have attended Clay County schools since they started school, I had the choice of Nicholas, Clay or Fayette and have never been disappointed. CCHS has been a wonderful experience for my son. No there aren't an abundance of extra-curricular activities, but there are things that can interest anyone.

Now that I am attending college, I feel that CCHS prepares students as well as any school represented at my current institution of higher learning. I am in the pharmacy program. During my freshman year of college I had not been presented with any material that was not covered at CCHS. My course load included 100 level general classes as well as 300 level medical classes. Overall I feel that CCHS is a great Highschool. Read less

I attended CCHS and felt VERY unprepared when I went to college. There was so much that I was not taught at CCHS that students from other school already knew. I wish that I had been able to attend another school that was better at preparing their college bound students. I was an A student at CCHS

As a graduated of the school, I would have to agree with the comments from July 2005 . While at CCH, I was exposed to other schools during my Junior and Senior years, and they were much more advanced in their studies than what I had been exposed to at CCH. As an A/B student I barely passed with a

My husband and I would love for our children attend to CCH, but we also want them to have more opportunities than what we were offered while attending. With that being said I do not believe our children will go to CCH. We want them to know that there is more in the world than just the safety of the Mountains. Read less

Clay County High School is a typical back woods educational situation. I was happy to be able to move my child to Kanawha County Schools so that they could get a more well-rounded education. Programs are limited at CCHS, scheduling is difficult, and often there is favoritism in the classroom. It is

I know that my child will achieve far greater success in Kanawha County Schools. I would strongly suggest that anyone who lives in an area where they can choose which county to send their child to, they should stay away from Clay County Schools. Read less
