Carlton is a very small school and you know almost everyone in the whole school. Class sizes are very small and teachers are hands on.

Carlton Secondary is an okay school. It is very run down and there are not many good teachers because we don't have enough to pay the good teachers. Most of the people there are amazing and they are all close friends because it is such a small school. It has advantages along with its disadvantages but they are trying to make it better.

Carlton high school has a useable weight room but it isn't in its best state. The coaches are exceptional because they make the sport exciting and don't pressure the athletes too much. The school tries to make better athletes and promotes a healthy lifestyle by having a bootcamp a few times every week that anyone can go to.
