Data showed that Clay County welcomed 1,690 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Black comprised 0.7% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the seven schools in Clay County, Petrolia Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of seven students.
