I happen to believe if a school that fails to control problems should have its principal fired. I also believe this school should expell the students who have been held behind for more then 2 years as they won't be able to go beyond Carter.

My daughter attended Carter for 2 years. Although there were teachers that tend to 'slack' and fights, overall i'm satisfied with this school. I believe that it doesn't matter where your child goes to school, it is their own personal decision that leads them to gangs, fighting, shavings, piercings etc. And I also happen to believe that a child is to respect figures of authority and to me that involves teachers, principals, administrators, guards, and so on. It's not always the teachers or the schools that are the problems.

Carter is far from being great. My son was in this school's district so he had to attend but, it wasthe worst 2 years of school we have both been through. An education is not what your child will get here and the administration, starting with the principal, is highly laughable to say the least.

I'm an 8th graderat this school its not that bad. Seriously rumors about this school stopped last year its really gotten more strict but they still let us have fun its no the worst school or the best school its a little cheap and some behivoir is really bad but overall even the kids with the saggy jeans shaved heads and piercings can be really smart im not one those though im still smart. Yeah the school is not what it looks like and I might be proud to be a cougar

This school does not meet my standards of a great school. A education is hard to come by and if you want your child to receive a good education pick another school.
