Summary:

The Clay Community Schools district in Indiana consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 70 out of 381 districts in Indiana and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Staunton Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with over 65% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. Clay City Elementary School also performs exceptionally well, particularly in math, with over 68% of students proficient or better. The district's lone middle school, North Clay Middle School, has solid academic performance, with around 45-50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math.

The data reveals a wide range in academic performance across the schools, with some high-performing schools and others struggling. There appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments. While the district as a whole is performing well, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly at the lower-performing schools, by implementing the strategies and practices of the top-performing schools across the district.
