Very poor school. The extracurriculars are great, but if you want to give your child a good education be prepared to pay for a tutor and a therapist.

We moved to CISD from east coast private school based upon its reputation. Overall the curriculum in the advanced courses is very similar to the private school we came from. However, the teaching is very poor. Teachers often substitute technology, videos, quizlets online, recorded lectures for actual instruction. This leaves many kids to teach themselves the material. Many students, including the top kids, have private tutors to make up the deficiencies. Overall great kids, strong extracurriculars and good material but very weak teaching.

Carroll High School is excellent. It offers many outlets beyond strong academics. There is an incredible music program including marching band, jazz band and choir. There is a great student council program and clubs and athletic programs abound. The kids are well rounded and well behaved. We have seen good parent involvement and high expectations. The few poor reviews are from students who don't feel like they fit in. High school is a difficult age and a bad day can mean they hate school but any student would be fortunate to attend Carroll High.

Carroll High School was a horrible horrible experience for me. I have been going to Carroll ISD since Kindergarten and last year was a freshman at CHS. The elementary and early years at CISD were great! But for some reason as the years went on, school after school many of the kids became SUPER cliquey, everything became centered around sports, and more and more I kept feeling the urge to be exactly like every other girl. Let me just be honest. The majority of people treat you nasty if your different, if you wear cheaper clothes, or talk, or walk different than they do. And by "nasty" I mean, I would just be walking down the halls and say "hi" to someone and they would completely ignore the fact that I had acknowledged them. Also, my freshman year at Carroll High 3 out of 4 of my core class teachers were coaches. And let me just say when you have a coach as a teacher, sometimes things aren't done the way they are supposed to be done. Trust me.... personal experience. So.. Carroll was not for me. But who knows maybe your child will find a way to be taught properly AND fit in. Hey, all people are different so you never know (: good luck. Sincerely, -Not Going To Carroll Next Year
