The Clay Local School District (CLSD) is located four miles (6 km) north of the Portsmouth, Ohio, city limits on U.S. Route 23 in Clay Township in Scioto County—which is 85 miles (137 km) south of Columbus, Ohio; 50 miles (80 km) west of Huntington, West Virginia; and 100 miles (160 km) east of Cincinnati, Ohio. Clay is a rural Ohio public school district serving 600 students in grades pre-K through 12 in Southern Ohio. With the creation of a high school (Clay Township High School) for the district in 1940, students for the first time were able to graduate from a Clay Local School District building.
Clay Junior–Senior High School is one of three buildings currently being used in the district. Rubyville Elementary School (4–6), on Maple Benner Road at the intersection of State Route 139, and Rosemount Primary School (K–3), on Rose Valley Road just off Rosemount Road in Rosemount, Ohio, are the other two buildings.
The enrollment for Clay Local School District, K–12, is 600 with 300 students in the elementary grades (K–6) and 300 students in grades seven through twelve. The district's mascot is the black panther while the district's colors are royal blue and gold. Ninety-six (96.22) percent of the students that attend the district are white. The other four percent are Hispanic (1.15), African American (.82), multiracial (.82), Asian (.66), or American Indian (.33). The district covers 22.12 square miles (57.3 km2). There are forty full-time faculty members serving the 600 students. The athletes compete in the small division in every Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) sport. The school competes with ten (10) sports teams at the high school level and three at the junior high level. The school district belongs to the OHSAA and to the Southern Ohio Conference-Division I.
