If you have a special needs child DO NOT place them in Claysville elementary. My son was treated very poorly there and they are definitely NOT knowledgeable about autism. I won't get into details but at his new school we have absolutely 0 problems and my son loves his teacher. Before, he would beg me to stay home where it was safe he and he always cried when I would drop him off. Now, he begs me to go to school and is excited. A total 180 after leaving that godawful school Close Quote
