Caroline High School

Tenth grader here, The school building is practically falling apart as stated in the previous review. We have a lot of issues with mold, sewage bursts, electricity switching on and off. Not to mention the fact that the school's thermometer is always off. Some rooms are hot while others are cold. It is a very difficult environment to work within. Lunch period is short. We have three lunch periods of twenty five minutes. Some students have just gotten their food when the bell has rung. There is literally no freedom given within the school and no actual responsibility put upon the students. We are treated as children. No cell phone use is strictly enforced, and often makes us wonder what the point of being a high schooler is if they can't even give us the power to make good and bad decisions. Just until last year we had limited hall passes, four per class for each nine weeks. I remember spending class periods feeling like I was going to die. It was ridiculous. Currently we have no real school nurse, the school is falling apart, the money in the county is not being used towards the education, the sports teams are terrible, and only a few teachers make it worth while. Would not suggest.

Caroline high school is currently a health hazard, at least in my opinion. The sewage pipes burst leaking into the hall ways. There is mold noticeable on the air vents. One of the teachers is allergic to said mole and had to go into surgery in order to feel well again. There are times when the power goes out in the middle of the school day. It normally takes 5 to 10 minutes for it to come back up.The school currently does not have a nurse. There are some students who seem to be prone to fainting and seizures so having a nurse seems to be an important thing.One time while leaving school there was a plank with a nail facing upwards in the middle of the hallway.If someone was not looking at the ground they could of stepped on it and injured their self.I noticed another review complained about the teachers. There is only a few teachers that treat the students like "delinquents", and honestly I do not blame them.The students body have no respect for others.One student cut a math teachers blouse and she didn't even notice.The food quality has improved over the years. The current principal, Jeff wick, is trying his best to improve the school.He got a grant for some reconstruction.

Caroline High School is a great school with a good principal Jeff Wick is the man for the Job he need the support of the Community. He is pulling things together. He is running a tight ship and trying his best.

I'd like to try to stand up for Caroline a bit by saying that this high school really isn't that bad. The building itself is old, and I personally wish that they would build a new school for that reason. I graduated from this school myself. I had great friends there. I was involved in band, soccer and volleyball. I had the GPA to go to a great college. If the school has a bad rep, it should be noted that Caroline County is poorer than most places in Virginia and thus does not generate the revenue that surrounding areas do. They lack the funding that some others school systems have, and that is the cause of a lot of their problems. Yes, some of the kids are bad, and there is, unfortunately, a demographic to be blamed for that. The teachers try their best, and I can remember some very good Science and English teachers who were among the greatest instructors I've ever had.
