Summary:
Clayton School District in Wisconsin is served by exactly one public high school: Clayton High, a school of 86 students in grades 9–12 located at 236 Polk Ave W in Clayton, WI. Because it is the only high school in the Clayton School District, Clayton High defines the entire high-school profile for the area — there are no other schools to compare it against, so all district-level high school figures mirror the school's own results.
Clayton High's strengths are in completion and resources. Its graduation rate is 100.0% in 2024–2025 versus 92.0% statewide, and its dropout rate is 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. The student-teacher ratio is 8.5, suggesting small classes and substantial staffing, and per-student spending is $20,741. About 39.53% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating meaningful economic need. The main challenge is academic ranking: the school sits at 442nd of 533 (17th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026, down from 32nd percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 and 36th percentile in 2023–2024. The district overall ranks 280th of 432, at the 35th percentile with 2 stars.
Most 2025–2026 proficiency results trail state averages: Social Studies 8.33% versus 48.25%, English Language Arts 25% versus 48.47%, Mathematics 28.57% versus 42.93%, and Science 32.14% versus 43.2%. Social Studies fell sharply from 52% the prior year — a swing best read cautiously given only 86 students. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, equal to the state rate but above the district's 12.4%, suggesting absenteeism is concentrated at the high-school level. In short: students finish and resources are favorable, but recent rankings and most proficiency measures lag the state.
