Clay International Academy

"No problems until today when the school allowed someone without authorization to pick up a child. Fortunately, the child is safe but this is completely unacceptable."

"I went here a while back. It was the most terrible school I have ever been to. It succeeded in teaching me the materiel, albeit badly, so I suppose I can give it an extra star. It is disgusting and filled with bad staffing and poor decisions. I can not recommend."

"After reading the reviews I was sceptical about sending my child to clay intermediate and it turns out I should have been. My child's teachers were great and cared as much as they could. The children are abusive to each other and some staff seem to look the other way. The principal....Worthless!"

"This school is a HOT MESS. Kids dont know how to keep their hands off other kids, teachers failing classes for unknown reasons, principal fails to return any phone calls!!! DONT send your kid here!!!!!!!!"

"Clay Intermediate is horrible (in all aspects) since Mrs. Beard became principal. Like all things in life, the functionality and success of a business is the direct result of its leadership; in the case of Clay Intermediate, there is a gaping void in this area. Unfortunately for my children that attend Clay--due to financial barriers, and not choice--the classrooms are overcrowded with behavioral problems, the majority of faculty members are ineffective to say the least, and the academic counselor(s) and administrators are unprofessional and unconcerned for the continued academic success and progression of their students. Ultimately, I do not recommend ANY of the public schools within the South Bend Community School Corporation (at any level). Until the S.B.C.S.C fixes its internal problems at the administrative levels, the state mandated standardized test scores will continue to reflect the lackadaisical efforts of the union-protected "educators" that "teach" our children."
