Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25043

Summary:

The three schools in the 25043 zip code area - Clay County High School, Clay Middle School, and Clay Elementary School - serve students from elementary through high school. While the elementary school stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face challenges in maintaining student achievement.

Clay Elementary School impresses with the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts, outperforming the Clay County Schools district and the state averages. In contrast, Clay County High School struggles, with test scores well below the district and state levels, particularly in Mathematics.

The schools also differ in their spending per student and student-teacher ratios, with Clay Elementary School having the highest spending and lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity across all three schools, with a predominantly white student population, is an area that warrants further investigation.
