I was contacted about a field trip, gave a clear “no,” and was told my daughter would stay on campus. Instead, the school took her off-site without my consent, after calling her dad for verbal permis...

We love the engagement of the administration and the teacher experience has been largely positive. We came from a previous school district that was not responsive to the needs of our children and it has been a night-to-day improvement at Carpenter.

It is unfortunate that some teachers at this school are not engaging nor inclusively or effectively instructing the children. Also, their remedial reading program is ineffective. Many children have progressed only 1 level the entire school year.

Recently moved from out of state and couldn't be more happy with Carpenter. Tremendous teacher and principal involvement. Excellent after school programs.
