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.

Great community and overall excellence. It has been a generally safe environment, although there is always room for improvement. The teachers try to help students to the best of their ability and make them feel comfortable.

Carterville High School was great! It was not too large, but also not too small. Staff was nice to students and students were also nice to each other.

They pushed me to be a better student, but did not give me as many opportunities as other schools around the area offered. It is much harder academically than the other schools in the area.

I've put 5 kids through Carterville Schools. Number 5 is a sophomore at Carterville High School. Academically excellent school and prepares kids for college and beyond. Two of my sons played football all four years and every year went to playoffs, one son playing on two back to back perfect 9-0 seas...

I went to Carterville High School until my family moved to Iowa in 1960. Would this be the same building? I remember some of the kids names like Rex Cisco,Ronny Dennison, David Cheniworth, and my cousin Jack Walker. My name is Bobby Walker. If you remember me e mail me please.
