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.

I had a horrible experience going to this school. I witnessed bullying pretty much daily. Some of the teachers were also extremely toxic. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

I loved the community, we see a lot of people get involved in everything. If your child goes to Carlton you are most likely going to get involved in activities. It's a small community but with a small community you get the chance to know everyone. If I could change anything about Carlton it would be to get more college readiness programs in it.

Being in a small town, this school is very tight-knit. For the most part, classes are close together and there isn't a high rate of bullying. Sports are huge in this community, though. There isn't much to do, so everyone rallies around the high school sports teams. There are not many opportunities for academic advancements here.
