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 like that it is a small school and I never feel out of place because everyone knows everyone. I also enjoy the small class sizes because teachers really care about your success and I find that it is an easier environment to learn in. The only reason I do not grade Carlynton a 5-star school is because I feel that some of our athletics struggle because students don't seem dedicated or interested in extra-curricular activities like sports.

I go to this school and i think the teachers are somewhat ok they can be helpful and can also picks favorites and leave other students out and a good thing is that the food is amazing!! But overall its nice to make memories at the school.

I have no complaints about the education I received after being in the Carlynton School District from K-12. Teachers and coaches were great. Liked the small school atmosphere, yeah it is not perfect facility wise but they were nothing to complain about and usually better than the competition. I felt...

I enjoyed my education at Carlyton. Yes, the district is small but because of this I feel like I had attentive teachers and the ability to get help when I needed it. I want to raise my family in this area because of this school district.
