Carle Place Middle Senior High School

My work allows me to interact with families with in every school district all over Long Island. The reason CP is such a hot market is the schools are the best kept secret on LI. Class sizes K-12 are small. College level AP courses are plentiful. Kids who perform at a high level have plenty of company with like students. Children who would normally struggle elsewhere, get the additional aid and attention they need. The principals are out front and know every student's name. From Math to Business courses the kids have many choices. I cannot recommend Carle Place School District more strongly.

I have had a terrible experience. I have 2 children with ADHD the teachers there don’t want to be bothered with redirecting them and giving the extra time to explain work. My son has dropped 4 reading levels and no one noticed until I had to hire a child advocate to help me fight for what my kids needed to succeed. As far as bullying goes I think the teachers are the worst of them all. They make the kids feel the worst about themselves. The school is too small not enough kids there are less than 100 kids per grade. 30% of this years 9th grades left to go to different school. Why because it’s like living in a bubble. Same kids from kindergarten to 12th grade. The statistics look good for College but how many of those kids stay in college and how many fail because they were not properly prepared? And most kids apply to College because they are shamed if they don’t. They put up a banner that announces where they are going. Also our sports program is terrible compared to other schools. I could go on and on. If your concidering Carle Place Schools, think twice and do your research. Ask parents about their experience and ask the kids too.

Very well, I enjoyed my time here (excluding middle school) and I am applying to very selective schools yet I feel very prepared thanks to my education here

I believe the school is great for a person looking for a smaller community the younger schools are even better I believe there is a favoritism thing going on but the school is great and I would never leave it.
