Carroll High School

I am a jr. at carroll high school and i must say that the majority of the smart students have moved to either private schools or Skipperville. There is some very qualified teachers that do get you ready for college, but there are also big issues with the staff. I moved from a middle school in Tx. where there was 1700 + kids, we had one principal and one asst. here at carroll we have one principal and at least 4 asst. the superintendent has layed off some of the most helpful teachers and kept some of the least helpful ones. I know for a fact if i could have done it again, i would have moved to a private school in dothan, or Skipperville.

I have had children in Lisenby Elem, DA Smith, and Carroll High School. The staff is very helpful and care about the students. The discipline policy could be stricter in my opinion, but as I understand, the new superintendent is cracking down. The building itself is the only downfall I see compared to other public schools, and the district hopes to get a new building within 2 years. Staff encourages parent involvement.

The staff does not keep in contact with parents.

As the parent of military children, I am very careful to choose the right school for my children. My children are honors students and Carroll was the choice we made. They offer higher learning and dual enrollment for college credit. They went far above what was expected to make sure my children were where they needed to be and all of their credits transferred. I totally recommend Carroll.

This school is an alright school, it lacks a bit on astetics, the building is falling apart, but by 2011 they are supposed to have a new one built. The tearchers in the advanced classes are great, I personnaly don't take regular classes, but I am sure they are qualified as well. The counsilers do their best, though with only two of them and 800+ students they are somtimes swamped, but they are always willing to work out a students issues. The teachers are also very supportive and encourage the students to excel in life and further their education through college and Advanced courses. Over all very satisfactory.
