Clay Local

The Clay Local district in Ohio is home to three schools: Clay Elementary School, Clay High School, and Clay Middle School. The data reveals that Clay Elementary School is the standout performer, with strong test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and efficient spending per student. In contrast, Clay High School faces challenges, including lower test scores, particularly in Geometry and Biology, a very high free/reduced lunch rate, and concerning chronic absenteeism.

Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.3% to 94.07% white students. However, there are significant differences in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools, which may suggest potential equity concerns. The high school spends the most per student at $8,933, while the elementary school spends $7,876 per student. The student-teacher ratios also vary greatly, from 5.2 at the high school to 22.4 at the elementary school.

Overall, the data provides valuable insights into the performance and challenges of the schools in the Clay Local district. While Clay Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, the district may need to address the issues at the high school level, particularly around attendance, resource allocation, and support for economically disadvantaged students. By analyzing these insights, the district can make informed decisions to enhance student success across all grade levels.
