There is little to no emphasis on academic growth and college readiness. Too much focus is placed on sports involvement and celebrating athletes

Carlisle school district has allowed me to thrive as a student and as a person in general. The only thing to at I would change, is they need to focus on getting students ready for college and providing resources and training on applying for scholarships.

the school is about as good as a tiny public school in rural arkansas can be. while the administration does try its best, it fails to support all of its students. the academics at its best are average, the school annually hires a new lot of incompetent and lazy first year teachers, and the school shoehorns so much of its budget into our mostly mediocre sports teams that many classes don't have access to basic teaching materials, like textbooks for everyone. also, our school has few extracurricular opportunities, so the majority of our student body is boring and uninteresting. i am very eager to leave. this is just my personal experience, though, and if you are looking for a quiet, small high school with an emphasis on athletics, then carlisle is for you.

It seems that here the sports take over the learning environment. Most of the teachers give up because of this and just give students class work that they turn in with minimum to no teaching involved. Class discussions are extremely rare.
