Clay Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Clay Joint Elementary school district, located in Kingsburg, CA with about 255 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Clay Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 28:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
