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.

Carrick Highschool has a bad Rep, but the academics are good as long as you take the proper classes. You'll be college ready if you take the right classes and challenge yourself. The clubs are minimum and the sports have minimum participation.

I m a former student from back in the early forties. It was a wonderful experience! The Choir went down the hall singing Carols at Christmas. We had great, dedicated, teachers (except for a metal shop teacher who started to choke a boy for yelling too loud.) My English teacher even came in on a Satu...
