Personally I loved going to school at Rachel Carson, it was a great experience for me. During my time here I was guided with so much love from each and all of my teachers. The teachers he truly do care about you as a person and you are more then just a number to them at this school. However I wish the school had more of a school spirit. For example we don't have our own sports teams and we have to share with a different school. I would like to see that change be made. But overall I loved it here and I would highly recommend.

The one thing that I would change is the bathrooms. The bathrooms currently smell really bad, kids are skipping classes

Overall is a great SMALL school, sure there are some flaws with going to such a small school, like having to go to Grady for sports or a packed school. These kind of things don't make this a bad school though, it is all on the students, whether they decide to pay attention in class or not is on them...

This school is great! I'm very happy that I'm here. Rachel Carson is very small school and everyone is friendly to each other and we're like a big family. Teachers are amazing, they always help you out if you need anything!
