Summary:
Claymont City in Ohio serves about 1,529 students across five schools — three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school — covering grades PK through 12. The district is rated Claymont City at 511 of 773 statewide, the 34th percentile, with 2 stars, a rating that appears on all five school records. Enrollment is spread fairly evenly: Claymont High School has 394 students (25.8%), Claymont Middle School 358 (23.4%), Claymont Intermediate School 341 (22.3%), Claymont Elementary School 226 (14.8%), and Claymont Primary School 210 (13.7%). Current state test scores exist only for the high, middle and intermediate schools, since the other two serve grades below the tested levels.
Claymont Middle School is the clear bright spot: the only current 3-star rating among tested schools, at the 61st percentile in 2025–2026, up from 56th and 50th in the two prior years. Its Algebra I proficiency of 94.4% is the highest result in the dataset and far above the state's 61.6%. By contrast, Claymont High School fell to the 31st percentile and 2 stars, down from 53rd percentile and 3 stars. It is above the state only in American Government at 77.8%, with Geometry at 34.0%, English II at 53.3% and Algebra I at 52.6% — a sharp contrast with the middle school's Algebra I result.
Claymont Intermediate School is the weakest tested school, also at the 31st percentile and 2 stars, with every 2025–2026 test below the state average; 3rd Grade ELA is 45.2% against the state's 63.4%. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the high school (21.3%) and primary school (19.6%), versus the district's 17.7%, while the intermediate school has the lowest rate at 14.5% despite its low scores. The elementary and primary schools have no current test scores, and free/reduced-price lunch data are not available, so academic conclusions about the early grades remain limited.
