Carmel Elementary School

My daughter was in 2nd grade i was really disappointed with her t teacher she took a lot of personal days off and seems not to connect with her students.I had an incident and when i tried to resolve it with the teacher it was futile,I resulted to speaking with the assistant principal and the whole incident was passed off as nothing to be concerned about after threatening to suspend a 2nd grader..Please take into consideration before having your child attend this school.

We switched from the top public elementary in the state to Carmel. I was very nervous to leave the top school. However, I have been VERY VERY happy with Carmel. The teachers are very smart and really work hard to give the students an excellent education. I do not feel the score on the website reflects the education my children are receiving. Of course their are aspects of Carmel that I wish could be better but I felt the same way with the best school in the state too.

This is my son's first year at carmel (kindergarden). He loves going to school. He has excelled academically and is reading quite well. The teachers are absolutely fantastic! they really care how a child does and wants to see them succeed. The principal (dr. Hunt) is very involved and encourages parents to be involved at whatever level they can. The office staff and nurses are excellent and very friendly. The teachers are very accessible and welcome open communication, they all have email and respond back in a very timely fashion. My son is enjoying the 'family' track in this school as next year his teacher will know him and he will know her so there this will hopefully reduce the adjustment period that all children face starting a new school year. This is an excellent school and i would recommend it to anyone. Only good things to say!

Both my 5 year old and my 6 year old are attending Carmel Elementary, they both have exceeded in academic. My Kindergartner has learned addition, subtraction,money counting, and she is beginning to read on her own. My six year old started first grade at Carmel. It's now the end of the school year and I can't tell you how much she has learn. She is reading and started doing fractions on Math. I am very pleased with this school also to staff is very pleasant. Thanks

The overall school is good and the teachers and staff are very friendly. However the teachers need to think more of the student & let the parents know if our children are truly prepared to move on to the next grade or if they are just moving on to be moved on. This I have found is extreamly damaging to our children because they are not prepared for the next grade and for each year that passes, the worse it gets.

I have one child at Carmel since jan 2004. The teachers and the staff all care about the students. I feel that this was the best move that I made for my child. She has exceeded all my expectations as well as her teachers.

I have 3 children. I have been with Carmel for 10 yrs. I have always been pleased with the teachers, administration and the quality of education they have provided.

This school spends tons of time emphasizing test taking and teaching to the test, yet students continue to perform more and more poorly.
