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.

It is a great school with amazing people. You just have to make sure you have resources or people at home that can help you with anything you need help on. Sometimes the faculty can be hard to work with but they are manageable. A very mid tier school but it can be enjoyable with the right people and friends.

The school truly is trying its best to better itself for future generations in terms of academics and student involvement. However many programs and opportunities starting up are not available for older grade levels and the ones that are are not actively promoted so chances of seeing or hearing of them is quite slim. Most students at this school are civil but there are occasional fights. Academics are fine for the most part but honors and AP classes can be quite demanding. Additionally take into consideration that many teachers for these classes (especially AP) are not the best at teaching so studying outside the classroom constantly is a must to excel in these classes and the AP tests at the end of the year (the ones in May).

I would say the best part about it is the sense of community that it has and I was apart of the wrestling team and that is the best decision I have made it helped be become a better person and is one of the best athletic teams that comes out of Carson. They are highly over looked but bring in more city titles then any other sport.

The staff is RUDE, LAZY and very UNPROFESSIONAL!! The teachers don't care for the students and they are just as lazy as the staff in the front office.

Alas, Carson High (main complex) is only a shell of its former self. There's a lot of blame that can go around for this. I teach at this school but couldn't see sending my own children here. The classes are packed beyond reason and with now seven periods there is barely time to cover the material th...
