While I do think the teachers are wonderful, I have been disappointed in the academics. They do help those who are behind or need extra support, they do nothing to meet the needs of those students who are ahead or need to be challenged.

Having children in 3rd and Kindergarten this year, I was very impressed with Carlton. I have 2 older children that attended private school while they were in elementary and I was a bit worried about sending my 2 younger ones to public. I have only positive words to say about this public elementary school!

I was fortunate to help in the classrooms so I have seen the staff and copy rooms; I was very happy to see such care and supplies with 'budget' restraints. The art vista a clay programs are great as well. As a previous private school parent, I would highly recommend this public school and wonder why I spent all that money when I had this wonderful school in my own neighborhood. I think the teachers and admin are great! Read less
