Archbishop Carroll High school has good academics overall. The work environment is doable but is due for an upgrade. Being that Carroll is a private school the amenities can be better. The lunch has gotten better over the years and the students enjoy it. Since Carroll is a smaller school every student has a teacher that they go to if they need anything. Overall a nice school.

ACHS is a college prep Catholic high school. It's rich in tradituon and no nonsense. This school is a wonderful place for young people to express themselves academically and athletically. They are surrounded by like-minded peers who strive to succeed for a strong education. The school Principal and President work together to ensure smooth school operations.

My experience at Archbishop Carroll was very interesting. It is a very small school so it is easy to make friends and connect with others in your community. The school feels like a family. What I love most about it is the Jim Vance Media Program, which is a four year plan for students to experience the journalism profession from the principles, practices and techniques, to hands-on-experiences in the field. I also enjoy the sports at Archbishop Carroll. I am on the Track Team and we are very well known in the WCAC. Carroll is a good college prep school and has a 100% college acceptance rate. I love the community and the activities here at carroll, although, I don't always feel as though I am being challenged. I came from a Montgomery County middle school so the learning curriculum is very different. some of the things I'm learning are things I have already went over in middle school. I love most aspects about carroll but I don't feel as though it's very intellectually challenging.

The people in charge are more concerned about showing off their authoritative power than assisting students who need help. There is a lot of victim blaming and discrimination. If you are a bright student, they find a way to kill your spirit. Constantly changing the rules and regulations and won't ac...
