We have two kids that graduated with goods grades and great scholarships so we can't complain. However, looking back, Carroll County does the turkey dance in a big way. If I still had kids in school and they got a teacher transfered in, I would be in the admins office asking questions.
Greatest school ever. I graduated in 2008, and I am so grateful for everything they did for me.
I found the quality of the teachers to be outstanding, and everyone was supportive in creating a great learning environment.
The teachers and administration at North Carroll High School are wonderful!! They are very caring, interested and helpful in every way!!
As a student currently attending NCHS I can say that the school is great. The staff and teachers are amazing, and the principle is the best you could ask for. Although its overcrowded the students here are mindful of that problem and no major problems occur. Overall a great school.
As a Parent of three sons ,one who has gradutated and two who still attend North Carroll High School I am very happy with the education that my sons are receiving. The Teachers have been wonderful and the principal is great.
This is my first year at North Carroll High. I think that overall the school is pretty good. The staff is nice and most of the teachers are great. It is very crowded, but that problem is being worked on. I don't have any major problems with North Carroll, but I don't love it.
My child is now a junior and I have to say I am not impressed with the educational quality. My child is very bright and takes all AP and honors classes two teachers in the two and a half years she has attended NCHS have truly taught her and she felt she really learned and gained knowledge from those classes. However the others have been interesting to say the least so many teachers are more worried about being students friends and having them like them then teaching and keeping control of a positive classroom environment. The AP classes do seem to excel but honors seem to be a joke. I am an alumni of NCHS and I think the classroom environment has severely changed and definitely has not improved and I now doubt the decision that I made not to do private.
The school and staff are fantastic. The overcrowding is not the fault of the school it is the fault of the Board of Education. But I give thumbs up to the principal and her amazing administrative staff for keeping order and safety first at the school
As a student at NCHS I think that the school has a lot more that can be offered. Some of the current teachers are not as they should be, and should be trained more frequently. The halls of NCHS are overcrowded and the safety and discipline about issues such as bullying should become more frequent and have higher consequences. Over all, the classes, such as AP courses, are well taught and have amazing standards for all the students enrolled in them. In my opinion, the special needs program is more than amazing. There is an extracurricular activity for every student to be involved with. Some include drama, arts, sports, business and so much more. Something is bound to spike a students interest. Personally, I do not know much about parent involvment, sorry. From what I do know, more parents should become involved to help there children succeed.
