The schools care and are great. Some teachers try to act like parents. But overall I am very happy with the schools

The Carthage R-9 school district has many different buildings and classes that make my education even better. There is a tech center that has a lot of computer courses, carpentry, culinary, and even more. Carthage High school and the district as a whole spends a lot of time and money to make sure the students get what they need.

Carthage's clubs and organizations are fun and easy to join. We have the best Ag program around and the School is new and well equipped. However, we have a major divide among students due to the large Hispanic population. The school isn't as integrated as it should be.
