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.

Jesse C.Carson High school was a good high school. It was fun at times but the other part it was just boring to say the least. The reason being is because Carson is the newest high school out of all the high school around the area. So not a lot of people know about the school. Apart from that, the sports side was ok. Not a lot if money went toward the sports side because Carson was an arts school not a sport school. So most of the money went toward the arts part of the school which kinda sucked. But all in all the school was alright in the end.

I have had one child graduate and now another child there as a freshman. My oldest son was very popular among the students and the teachers. He played 3 sports and graduated with honors. He did not have to smoke, drink or do drugs to be popular. High School is about what you make it to be. Although...
