Transfered to Carter from Eisenhower as a sophomore fall of 2005 when it opened at was the seconded graduating class spring of 2007. I would never in a million years have my child go to this school and any school in the Rialto School district. This is a ghetto school because of the students attending and the lack of discipline from home. The councilors are a joke and were not helpful at all. The only reason I actually went to 4 year university was because of my relationship with the career center tech, which is no longer even there. The teachers only care about you if your in their Honor or AP classes. I had both regular and Honor classes and know the difference they treated the students. The students that attend this school is main reason it is the way it is. They don't care about their own education and keep from others receiving a good education.
The student body has really change the past two years with the new co-principals. We have seen the new adminstration take a new approach toward discipline and high expectation for academic achievement. Carter is quickly becoming a competitive school in the area.
We were not happy with the administration so we move our student. The principle has been rotated several times, security issues are not addressed, and the quality of education is lacking.
It's a new school and i hope the best for this school and I am happy with the overall performence of teachers and staff
this school the the best i cant wait till i get to go back there.
i was a student at carter high school my sophmore and junior year until i moved. i went there the years of 06-08.to tell anybody the truth about carter high school it wasn't the best school out there but its pretty impressing what it can actually offer you. for instance, i was in the jrotc and it was amazing any freshman should join
This school does not give support to the teacher when it comes to giving structure to the students. Administration rather have the teachers in danger, than to face the parents of the student causing problems. I will never work here again!
I am currently a student at carter. I think the students lack in discipline because they are destruptive and noisy during the class periods. I personally think that teachers should not tolerate their ignorant behaviors and be more strict on the students. I'm very dissapointed because the teachers dont make much of an effort to discipline the students when a class is in session.
As a current student I believe we get a great education. Most of the teachers are always there when needed and we never have too many problems. I take advanced classes the teachers are really prepared. I know, from other students, that sometimes the classes are too basic and boring because the teachers are required to stick to state standards; students would have more fun and understand things better if the teachers were allowed more liberties.
I believe that in the first year, like most schools Carter high School had a couple of issues, although after parents addressed there issues to the School Board the School Board responded immediately, and addressed the issues we had. I am now proud of Wilmer Amina Carter high School, also kudos to Assembly Member Wilmer Amina Carter in the School Board naming the School after her. Assembly Member Carter you are a very well respected woman and leader of not only the city of rialto, but surrounding communities.
