Why Us
95.9% Graduation Rate
Clay County Schools is proud to share that our district has achieved an outstanding 95.9% graduation rate! This success reflects the dedication of our students, the hard work of our educators, and the strong support from our families and community.
92.81% Attendance Rate
Regular attendance is essential for student success. When students miss school, they miss valuable learning time, class discussions, and opportunities to build strong relationships with teachers and peers. Consistent attendance builds good habits, improves academic performance, and increases the chances of graduating on time. Every day counts!
