The academics are pretty good if you have one on one time but the students here are all up in each others business and it creates a toxic environment after a while, I've never been to public school but I'm sure it's much worse. The classes are a good size and the teachers are helpful and the sports a have good coaches but the teams can be iffy depending on what sport you do.

Our daughters are enjoying their experience at The Carmel School. We love the small class sizes, the academic expectations, and the sports and extracurricular activities available for middle & high school students. While we love the sports opportunities, we do wish they had baseball and softball fields and tennis courts at the school.

Our child went to this school. Teachers were good, administration was a joke. Nothing but regrets sending him here. Be warned.
