The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed my time at Carey. I think classes are teachers are very good. I wish they did a better job prepping students for college and teach us resources such as loans, scholarships, army, etc. Also wish they had programs to help us get ahead in college such as medical assistant certification, dental assistant certification, etc.

Community is changing, school is a reflection of that. Still has strong cliques, people who were born here, etc. but only a matter of time until it becomes like surrounding areas. Expect a mediocre to ok education. Plus side, there are lots of school activities.

I still have trauma from all of the bullying I have seen, and bullying that was done to me. Nothing was and i'm sure nothing will ever be done about it. Please, do yourself a favor and do not send your children to this terrible school.
