Clayton opened its doors in the Fall of 2006 and is growing daily. The Clayton community is composed of energetic and dedicated parents, staff and partners. Everyone has come together quickly bringing their experience of other campuses and generating many new and improved ideas. It's an exciting time for all of us as we set the foundation of Clayton Elementary for our children.

The school is named for Mrs. Nan Clayton, an ardent contributor to the education and local communities. She served for many years on the Austin ISD School Board as a member and as Board President. Mrs. Clayton is still active in the community and supports her school with passion. We are fortunate to have her - thanks Nan!

Clayton is located on over 14 acres in the middle of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Many old native trees and plants surround the campus, in addition to new native plantings. The building's architecture blends in seamlessly with with its natural surroundings and also incorporates earthy colors inside.
