Read what parents are saying about Clayton HighThis school is poorly funded. The building is in need of a major update, and it’s very crowded. There are some nice and caring teachers who work hard and do care, but academically, this school didn’t provide a focused environment. My oldest, who has a high IQ was barely prepared for community college despite taking honors classes, daily parental oversight, no behavior problems, and an educated family environment. Many students are from low socioeconomic situations, poor home lives, and that contributes to the overall rigor of learning environment. The previous principal really did try and cared about his students, I’ll give him that. But you can only do so much with low funding. We moved to a different district for our youngest out of state as we wanted better for him and the difference in resources and quality in both teachers and students is not even comparable. Look elsewhere for your kid.
Posted by a parent on 12/10/2023Bad school for my child it is unsafe with all the vaping that happens
Posted by a community member on 12/8/2023it has good teaching and your child will have good education.
Posted by a parent on 10/23/2023They've added metal detectors, refused to punish troublemakers in class, and we don't even have math books anymore. Do yourself a favor and make sure you pick a different school. 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 moved to make sure they could be placed in a different school or I would've homeschooled. Some of the teachers are nice and well meaning but they're mostly overstressed, they overshare, and some don't seem to understand what they're supposed to be teaching.
Posted by a community member on 6/8/2023Really wanted to like this school when we moved from wake county to johnston county but it's turning out to be a real mistake. Due to someone being lazy and not doing their job my child has to bring her own basketball to school. She is one of the best students over at that school. Follows are the rules and a straight "A" STUDENT. You couldn't unlock the door and get her a basketball? I'm trying not to believe race has anything to do with this but I can't understand if you get paid each month why you can't do your job. This school has a lot of catching up to do, in so many areas. As much taxes as I pay to live in this county the schools could at least have it half way together.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy family has several children that have gone through this school. My oldest niece had a wonderful experience here, but at the time, Mrs. Barnes was not the principal and she had teachers that cared about her education. She excelled in school and has since gone into early college and will have an Associates Degree before she is 18 years old. However, since then, the school has progressively gotten worse. I honestly wish I would have read the reviews before ever deciding to send my child here. He is extremely behind based on their testing methods-- and Lord knows what those even are. 2 of the other children in my family have transferred to a different school and it has been the best decision for them, however, they are also EXTREMELY behind compared to the other kids in their classes. It has been extremely sad seeing them at night struggle to make it through their homework. It takes them hours to do and according to their new teachers, it should be stuff that they already know.Parent Review1y ago - Kids R Kids
