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.

When I went to Carolina International school, it was okay. Throughout my time there, my class had at least 10 different teachers for the entirety of high school. I liked a lot of the staff but some of them acted as if they were on a power trip, to be fair they didn't come back the year after. Anyways, I liked it. I made a few good friends and ended up graduating early.

I loved the diversity and international aspect of the school but the administration were not good handling harassment and bullying and there was little to no communication between the school and the students.

I was at Carolina International School from k - 5. I liked how the teachers would really find the best in you. When I was in 5th grade, my math teacher moved me from a 5th to 6th grade level, from 6th to 6th grade AIG level. She really found the best in me and my ELA teacher did the same.
