Clayton High challenges students to become better than when they first walked through the door. And yes, it is a challenge, but it is worth the reward. Clayton prepares it's students for college through academics, club involvement, sports, and scheduled planning. Clayton provides it's students with many resources to help students succeed including laptops, books, and one-on-one attention from teachers.
The facilities at Clayton High School are top-notch. I have yet to meet a teacher who wasn't passionate about their subject. The open campus treats students like adults with the freedom and responsibilities associated with leaving the building whenever they want. However, there exists a toxic grade-checking culture ubiquitously throughout the school. Additionally, the food is bland and the sports teams consistently get whooped by their rivals.
