GreatSchools Rating
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.

My experience at Mount Carmel Academy was amazing. The faculty and staff are very helpful and always push the students to try hard and reach for their goals. The teachers never give up on a student that is struggling. It is a safe and secure school.

Theres alot to say about Mount Carmel Academy but all I can say is that its a great school to enroll your kid into. It has alot of great teachers that will actually care about your kids. Yes it is a small petite school, but that means that it's also a small community. Besides it being a small community it can also mean that your kid has alot of great opportunities ahead of them. So if you're looking for a good small school for your kid or kids, come to Mount Carmel Academy in Houston, TX near the Hobby Airport Area.

The teachers were great and they help students a lot. There are more students than teachers on campus so teachers really focus on students. Classroom sizes are on average from 6-15 students and they could vary depending on what courses you choose. Average class size is 75-85 students.

The school is terrible. Racist teachers and principle, they lie to parents face just so their child can attend their school, they sometimes even tell students to go to different schools

Most of my learning took place outside the classroom or from talking to teachers who wer...

Mt. Carmel does try to help the students prepare for college. But, it is up to the student to prepare themselves and buy in. Our son didn't qualify for much financial aide if any for college. But that didn't deter us from perusing the dream and we don't blaming others such as the school if we didn't...
