Summary:

The Clay Community Schools district in Indiana consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 87 out of 380 districts in Indiana and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Staunton Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores. North Clay Middle School also performs very well, ranking 117th out of 480 Indiana middle schools. While not the highest-ranked, Clay City Elementary School still performs well above the district and state averages, particularly in Math.

However, the district faces some challenges. There is a wide range in test performance across the schools, with Forest Park Elementary struggling with only 15.29% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. Additionally, the district has high rates of economic need, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 44% to over 77%, and a concerning 17.8% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools. These factors likely impact student learning and achievement, and the district may need to focus on addressing equity and providing additional support to the lower-performing schools.
