James Earl Carter Elementary School

I love the school. My kids started to attend Carter Elementary last school year and I am happy about it. I can't believe how much kids are reading. My son wasn't a big reader, but now he is enjoying reading and I don't even have to tell him to read anymore. I love the math curriculum too. Teachers put so much energy to give attention to individual kids' improvement. They work so hard. Communications with teachers are excellent too. When I sent an email to ask a question, they sent me back right away. PTO is very active to help the school. Great organization. Many parents are involved for classroom or school volunteer. The great thing is parents are willing to help not being obligated. I have not heard any complains from other parents and I don't have any either. (Maybe one... the picking up kids is a little bit too hectic?)

I am very happy that my daughter got a chance to attend this school. I really like the way teacher works with each students in their class, The Homework covers everything which they need to do on based of their grade, My dughter is having fun in her second grade class. I will also have my son to go into this school once he would be 5 years old. PTO program in this school is very helpful and keep you in loop about their activities in school. I love this school so does my daughter. The teachers are wonderful. Thank you very much carter for taking my daughter in your school. Great School!!!

I have been a parent at Carter , this will be the 6th year. Both my girls love it and every year they get better and better. With one of my girls this being her last year --I plan on staying here for the next 3 years with my youngest. Great PTO and the teachers every year are the best teacher for each of my girls. And there is no waiting list or Pressure to volunteer. I do so with no contract and at my own time. Thank you Carter for such a wonderful education for my two daughters

I'm very greatful that my daughter is able to attend this school. She is currently in second grade and feels very happy at this school, her two cousins are also in second grade but in different classrooms. The teachers are excellent and I'm thankful for all the extra effort that PTO provides for all the school's activities.

My child was formerly at a charter school in the district and I have seen no decline in their academic perfomance since coming to Carter School. The staff and leadership here are very prgressive and innovative in helping the students learn and take on a desire for learning. They are true academic professionals. Music, art and sports have not fell by the wayside here as budget cuts have hit hard across the state. Carter maintains these activities as important parts of their student's overall education. The Accelerated Reading program is very motivational to the student's reading achivement and gives them confidence to succeed in other academic areas and should be a must at every school. Parent involvement here is very high for those parents who do become actively involved in their children's education and have a positive attitude towards helping their child learn. To Carter Staff - Keep up the good work!

Carter is a wonderful school! The amount of staff/parent support is phenomenal. My children are receiving a top notch education as evidenced by their academic achievement and excitement for learning. My husband and I moved to this area four years ago and made sure to buy a home within Carter's boundaries and I am so glad we did. As with any campus, there are days that are much busier than others, but the staff, students and numerous parent volunteers make it all work. Anyone who has spent any amount of time on campus would see the devotion of Carter's administrators, teachers and volunteers. Yeah, Cougars!

The office staff was obnoxiously difficult to work with during the registration process. The after school pick up is chaotic and frightfully dangerous. The children are herded to the parking lot under the trees and minimally supervised. Organization seems to be a giant weakness, and safety doesn't seem to be an issue anyone cares enough about to maintain. On the bright side, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are sweet.
