Words cannot describe how I feel about Claymont. It is a great school that is highly organized, caring, and motivating. I moved here because I wanted to have my child in a great school. I found that with Claymont. The staff is wonderful and my son is eager to go to school and to learn. If it is numbers you like, check out the increasing MAP scores! I am a PROUD Claymont parent.
