I'm not sure how Niche comes up with these ratings. We purchased a house in Clayton School District because of the great reputation. So I was shocked to find out my 2nd grader wasn't being taught spelling, grammar or math facts at all at Meramec. And Clayton High School's open campus (=scant supervision) and lack of a clear cell phone policy means kids are on social media at school *all*day* long*, lunch and often during class, too. Come here if you want to see girls walking around with just a bra (no dress code here!) or you don't mind students verbally putting down white/male students sharing in class.
Lesson learned the hard way. If you want to make sure your kid gets a respectable education, go private.

While my experience with the School District of Clayton has had its high and low points, I truly believe it has set me up for the best future possible. The teachers and administration are very receptive to the needs of their students and, for the most part, do their best to make sure the students feel as though they are being listened to. The academics are challenging, but I rarely have problems asking my teachers for help. I have had some issues with the college counseling department, but it has not affected my ability to get into a school that is a great fit for me.
Going to Clayton high school has given me a lot of knowledge that I might not have been given if I went to a different or less funded public school. The school provides many resources to learn and all the departments are extraordinary, but the fact that the English teachers have literary conferences about your writing piece is really great. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is due to the small amount of sports funding. The sports funding is really low and kids who are trying to get into college through sports because they are excellent players, aren't able to get that oppurtunity
