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.

We have the best staff dedicated to integrating arts and humanities! We strive to do our best and work as a team to accomplish that goal. I love coming to work everyday because of the students, the environment and our administration!

I love having the opportunity to focus on the arts with my students, and other teachers. There are so many inspired and inspiring teachers here, and the students and their families are very supportive.

I couldn't be more grateful for my son's time at Claxton (3-5th). He has had the best teachers that I could have hoped for him. The entire administration gets 5 stars in my opinion. My son loves the school as well... too bad it has to end with 5th grade.

I feel that since my son Darius has been at Claxton School Ms Lamm has been the most supportive teacher my son has had. She always make the child feel as they need to learn. I want to thank her for all she has done for Darius Miller
