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.

Carrick really is a great school, there is some cracks in its foundation but that's nothing a school doesn't have. I feel the teachers there care more than anyone else in that building, and that is one of the key factors that make Carrick great. The staff is very friendly and understanding. The counselors do everything they can to make sure you are right where you should be. Though attendance in students is low, as well as testing, this schools is so much more than that.

Carrick Highschool has a bad Rep, but the academics are good as long as you take the proper classes. You'll be college ready if you take the right classes and challenge yourself. The clubs are minimum and the sports have minimum participation.

No matter what I do in the morning, once my daughter leaves for School, I never know if she is going or skipping. I don't want to get myself into trouble for her not going too school, my question too you is, why don't you contact me, or other parents when their kids are absent? I can not physically...

I m a former student from back in the early forties. It was a wonderful experience! The Choir went down the hall singing Carols at Christmas. We had great, dedicated, teachers (except for a metal shop teacher who started to choke a boy for yelling too loud.) My English teacher even came in on a Satu...
