Here at Mount Carmel High School there are not that many people compared to other schools. The school has very very good sports teams, but the coaches always pick favorites. The school has very many roaches in it especially in the locker rooms. All of the teachers are very nice and are always willing to help, but some of them take a really long time trying to put all of the grades in. Overall I feel like MCHS deserves an average rating.
