Carmel High School has been an experience I am grateful to have endured. Over the past 4 years I not only have grown academically but personally as well. CHS offers a wide range of clubs and classes each student can take.

This school is very racist, everyone not from Carmel is very aware of their prejudice and racism, but the school is not protecting of their teachers or children, they allow anyone to walk in and barge into classrooms, the kids are great, the teachers are great, the administration is terrible, and parents are terrible, they don't protect their teachers or children, and if I could report the school for that type of behavior, I would, and I want to make sure something like that never happens again

It's like a lot of high schools but it's better in the arts/music and they take safety very seriously.

This school assumes everyone works around them and everyone including parents that are new to the school system know everything. Also it doesnt look like they try to help students that need help but more so create confusion. If a kid needs guidance he or she would be lost in this school environment....

Carmel High School is an interesting school to say the least. It's definitely very hard to make friends unless you're not in a "clique" and even on sports teams and such all the "popular" people are together in a little friend group and you're left out if you're not like them. In terms of diversity...
