Clay Elementary School
5
Clay is a fantastic school made up of students with parents who genuinely care about their kids' education. With test scores to prove that they are a top-notch school, many students (roughly 75%) are inter-district transfers; parents who want more for their child's education and are willing to drive them the extra distance to attend Clay. I am just one of those lucky parents who got the magical 'call' saying that my daughter got in after she had been on the waiting list since the day she was born. And just like your child's learning, parental participation for school events and fundraisers is what helps this school maintain its high standard. If you can get in, I highly recommend!
