I fell this is one of the best schools in the country. Claysville has some of the best teachers and the parents are awesome. I would also like to give a huge thanks to the Lunch Room Staff there. They have been awesome to deal with. Although i feel the prinicipal has alot of room for improvement over all the school is great.

This is a grade A+ school system, and I am proud to entrust them with our child's educational needs.

There needs to be closer monitoring in place for the 'No child left behind' act at this school so that our children are reaching their educational goals and not being passed on unprepared. There needs to be more parent involvement. Every school must have parent support!

Great school. My son has started pre-school there this year. He is the 5th generation in the family to attend there. Everyone has loved it and so does my son. Great small school to attend. I would recomend it to anyone and to all parents.

I think that Claysville is a wonderful learning enviroment. It offers alot more of one on one with the students. A majority of the teachers have taught for 20+ years. I attended this school and now my child does. The faculty and staff couldn't be any friendlier. I am a very satisfied and proud parent

My son goes to Claysville and I feel the school has not and is not a good experience for my child and my self. I am very disappointed in the performance of the Principal and some of his staff. My son's teacher is a breath of fresh air and I would like to give her the credit she deserves. She is a wonderful teacher and my son has enjoyed learning from her. Ms. Moore is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to a friend. She is an assest to the Marshall County School System. As for the overall school I think it has a lot of room for improvement.

I love Claysville school. I went there as a child and so my children are currently attending. I do think we need to offer more sports and activities, or at least make them more known if there are any.
