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.

The quality of education is very underrated. The teachers are super engaged with the students and will fully support students as long as they are willing to put in the effort.

I am a senior at Carlynton High School. I love how much our school is so diverse. I have classmate and team mates from Jamaica, Mexico, and Africa. I love leaning about them and there culture. What I don't like is the lack of college ready information and the counselors making me retake a math course because of a state testing even though I had strength A's. I am now behind and need to try and get a good SAT score.

I have no complaints about the education I received after being in the Carlynton School District from K-12. Teachers and coaches were great.

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.
