Carson Senior High School

Ineffective leadership on the part of the administration has had a detrimental effect on the quality of education at Carson High school over the last several years.

The staff is RUDE, LAZY and very UNPROFESSIONAL!! The teachers don't care for the students and they are just as lazy as the staff in the front office.

Alas, Carson High (main complex) is only a shell of its former self. There's a lot of blame that can go around for this. I teach at this school but couldn't see sending my own children here. The classes are packed beyond reason and with now seven periods there is barely time to cover the material that kids so desperately need to absorb. The obsession with testing is driving everything and makes for a somewhat dreary learning experience for both teacher and student. Teacher morale is very low with the changes and a climate of fear and intimidation exists on the campus. Fortunately, the kids are wonderful and amazing. They are a pleasure to see and work with and make putting up with a some of the more intellectually specious directives somewhat bearable. The school is a bit of a factory. Budget cuts have eliminated many of its programs and the class selection is EXTREMELY limited. There is less than a 50% chance your kid will ever go on a field trip during his or her four years here. To be fair, this situation exists in many LAUSD schools. Carson is not special in this regard. The kids here are amazing. The education philosophy that is being championed here is not.

i just wish i could give it more than infinity and forever stars. Carson High Is the best it helped me make my identity. and now i work at NASA and the credit all goes to Carson
