Not the most welcoming. Tried to gain more information via personal visit yet met with rude and unprofessional behavior by administrative staff. If the staff is a reflection of the school persona, I can not imagine the daily environment students endure.

John Carroll Catholic High School is a great school. It gives the student one of the best educations in Alabama. One thing that I wish could be change is the cost of the tuition. It is not a cheap school, however you get what you pay for, a great education.

I had a pretty good experience at John Carroll. I have attended high school for all four years of high school. The teachers have been super helpful and the coaches are amazing. It is a great place for kids to come to learn to only in education, but physically and spiritually.
