We can't say enough good things about Claxton. The teachers, Principal, and Vice Principal are incredible. They are involved, caring, and communicative. Our kids are happy and growing there. I love the diversity of the school, and the creativity that it encourages. We are extremely thankful for such an amazing little school right in the heart of Asheville.

I love Claxton Elementary because of the commitment the staff has to the students. Our principal knows every child's name and history in her school and works very closely with teachers to ensure that her student's are receiving the best education for them. Our teachers are positive and work cooperatively. As a new teacher, not only has the district staff supported me, individual teachers have stepped up to help me transition into the school and career.
