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.

This is the best school in Rowan County. I love it. It's the best school for the arts. The other academics are nice too, but I absolutely loved my time in the arts classes.

The best parts of Jesse C Carson high school are the art program, teachers, and faculty. The worst parts are the administration and the lack of diversity.

I have enjoyed my years at Jesse C. Carson High School, and they will always have a grand sense of importance in my heart. The teachers genuinely care about your well-being and your success and that is something I value you immensely. With each year, this school always finds ways to improve on its flaws; leaving no stone unturned, something some schools never do. It is well kept, incredibly staffed, filled with spirit, and a place that I'm proud to say that I've attended.
