Clayton High

The new principal is awesome!! Very open and willing to try anything. New band director great too! Lots of positive changes for this decent community school.

I graduated from here in 2013, and I am thoroughly disgusted about my senior year experience and what has been going on since i left (I have friends that still attend there). Everything was ok until after my junior year. During my senior year, I was pushed by a girl over something stupid and the assistant principal I reported the incident to didn't do anything until my dad called and threatened to press charges on the girl because she wouldn't do anything; my chorus teacher bullied me my entire senior year and targeted me all throughout every class and I never reported it because I knew the principal would either not believe me or make the situation worse; there was also a guy that stalked every girl at the school and everyone reported him several times and the administration wouldn't do anything about it. My advice: do not send your kids here or support this school. It has become a very terrible school that harbors so many issues.

As a parent I have mixed emotions regarding Clayton High School and the state of North Carolina. The mentality here in Carolina continuously has me quite perplexed at times, which leads to frustration. I feel that Clayton High is a typical high school with the same issues as many high schools in this 21st century. I do feel that there are a few racial issues that should be addressed, coaching issues and school maintenance concerns that require immediate attention. One of my major concerns is when contacting the principal Mr. Clint Eaves, never returns your call. I/we have to physically go to the school to get his attention which is definitely a problem. There are a few teachers who could be perceived as strange but the majority are easy to talk with regarding your child. I can say that it is very obvious to us that the school has gone down hill since relocating here in 2007. So sorry to see the decline but the truth is that you are only as good as your leader...

This school is terrible. The staff are rude, they don't respond when we try to reach out. No voicemail. The phone actually hangs up on you. Their scores are terrible. The school is falling apart. The front office staff is extremely rude. We should have stayed where we were. I guess since NC is not with the times, they think this is ok. I looked into my children using online homeschool as we are having issues with bullying and racial comments. NC does not offer free online homeschooling. This blew my mind. I would not recommend Clayton High School. We are not impressed at all.
