Summary

Clay High School is a comprehensive public high school in Oregon, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 1,107 students — the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in this dataset — and is part of the Oregon City district. The district ranks 274th of 773 in Ohio (65th percentile, 3 stars), while Clay's own 2025–26 rank is 404th of 795 (49th percentile, 2 stars), a drop from 2024–25 when it ranked 315th of 855 (63rd percentile, 3 stars). Clay's state rank has been volatile over the years, ranging from the 31st to the 66th percentile.

Academically, Clay scores above the state average in five of six End-of-Course subjects — American Government (79.5%), American History (81.2%), Biology (71.2%), English II (65.4%), and Algebra I (63.9%) — with social studies and biology as clear strengths. Geometry is the weak spot at 35.1% proficient, 8.2 points below the state and below both the district (36.5%) and Northwood High School (42.0%). Algebra I has climbed from 48.0% proficiency in 2022–23 and now exceeds the state. Graduation is a strength at 94.4%, stable between 92.6% and 95.2% since 2021–22. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 31.1% — 11.5 points above the district's 19.6%, and higher than Northwood and Toledo School For The Arts.

Compared with neighbors, Clay clearly outperforms Toledo City schools like Waite High School and Woodward High School, as well as area charter and alternative programs, in graduation, attendance, and most subjects, but trails Northwood and Toledo School For The Arts in overall rank, graduation rate, and attendance. In 2025–26, Clay ranked in the 16th percentile for African American students (down from the 55th in 2023–24), the 13th percentile for special education students (down from the 46th), and the 36th percentile for low-income students (down from the 60th). These figures show how well the school serves particular groups compared with other Ohio schools, not the students themselves.

Sunday, August 25, 2013

Clay High School is an excellent school with many options. Anywhere for AP to Career and Tech to the Arts. The teachers love their field and it shows in their teaching. Clay has a very up to date building. The junior high has iPads and the high school will be getting them in 2014/2015. As a student I am very happy with the school and also appreciate the way they prepare us for college. I would recommend it highly! Close Quote
