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.

I liked the sports. The food was bad though. I liked the classes to, allowing me to take a challenging course or an easy one.

Carter high school is a medium sized high school in a big county. Carter high has many different types of people, people from different backgrounds and teachers from different backgrounds. If someone were considering going to Carter high school I would encourage them to look into FCA and to take all the ap classes they can. I would also encourage them to grow in their relationship with God. I hope this suits you well. Have a blessed day.

After leaving a private school setting for public school, we have been pleased .I think the key to any school is parent involvement. Carter has Honors classes and promotes academics and community as long as the student and parents participate and support. As with anything, you get out of it what you...

I work a lot with Knox Co Schools and Carter is one of the greatest. My child goes there and loves it. From Ms Hickman on down they are great.
