GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Carbondale Community High School is a place of opportunity. We have good extra curiculars and a supportive and involved administration. I would like to see more support in our sport because even though we won conference in most of our competive sports, there is still not adequate funding to further the programs.

The best part of going to Carbondale high school was the diversity, I've met so many different groups of people. I liked most of my teachers especially the ones I had my senior year, they've taught me so many things, lastly I really liked going to the games and playing in them as well.

Transferred into the area from a much bigger city with high ranked schools. This school was a very pleasant surprise. Much smaller, but has a reasonable, attentive administration. Well balanced teachers who seem well accustomed to working with such a diverse student body from multiple rural counties...
