Several reviews here are based on a decision by the school district to expand Carroll rather than split the district into two high schools. There are still some hard feelings in the community over that decision. Carroll High School offers excellent opportunities for students of many different interests

I saw a review mentioning widespread drugs and violence. This is utter hogwash. I'm around Carroll and its students on a regular basis and it is a very safe and comfortable community. These kids are the best group of teenagers I have ever been around. As with any school, there is a drug community as well, but it is clearly in the fringe of the Carroll population. My only complaint: Discipline seems to be a little capricious and heavy-handed at times. Read less

Carroll High School may be a little bias on many topics and focus on athletics a bit too much but there are those teachers that are very nice and helpful like Mr. Knorr.

Being a current student of Ball State University's Accounting program, I have Carroll High School to thank for most of my preparation and success so far during college. No doubt about it....this school is top notch. Parents that want and desire their children to succeed in life will find that Carroll

The extra-curricular business programs at Carroll (such as the Academy of Finance), prepared me for my internships and gave me real-world experience to apply to my college courses. The recent graduates of this school will soon realize that their education at Carroll has strongly prepared them for college. I am very proud to be a Carroll graduate. Read less

As a student of this school, I feel that I was lucky to have received my education at Carroll High School, at least academically. The administration is biased and focuses mostly on athletes and those who excell academically, but if one is willing to work hard to receive a decent education, there is

Awful school. Ranked highly, however the administration is completely biased, obsessed with athletics, and frivilous with money. The only teachers hired are those who are relatives of school administrators, resulting in AWFUL teachers. I have never encountered a school with less respect for its students
... Read more and their parents. I moved from Carroll to a small school in Northern Michigan that was provided much less money per student and received a MUCH better education than I received at Carroll. I would advise NO ONE to attend Carroll High School, or any of the other NACS schools. The middle schools are even worse than CHS. If you haven't moved to NACS district yet, reconsider. Read less

I had heard great things about this school system before enrolling my child, but after moving here, I found many disappointing things out about the high school. I have never encountered such arrogance and rudeness as I encountered at the grade 10-12 building. Both administrators and office staff have

My child has lost all respect for the principals and secretaries due to the way he has been treated there. Mind you, he's never been to the office for disciplinary reasons, only for assistance. They seem to be far more interested in making up new rules as they go along, than in providing any real service to the students. If I could do it over, I would not have sent him here. Academics aren't everything. Read less

Indiana, as a whole, does not properly emphasize academics and athletics. However, one can obtain a college preparatory education at Carroll. All of the Carroll schools are safe, well-maintained, and staffed appropriately. However, Carroll High School has exceeded its maximum capacity. This results
... Read more from the fact that the Carroll school district covers over 75 square miles of land and students from the countryside, newer suburbs and 1930-40s suburbs are all bussed from the far reaching corners of Allen county. The administration has refused to address the 700 pound gorilla in the room, namely, the school district must be split into two school dsitricts. As a result, Carroll will continue to have lower participation rates in athletics and extra-carricular activities, thereby lowering the overall education that the students receive. Also, notably, the extra-curricular activites at Carroll are, essentially, 'pay-to-play' activities. Read less
* In 2008-2009 Indiana used the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) assessment to test students in grades 3 through 10 in English/language arts and math, and in grades 5 and 7 in science.

High school students are required to pass the grade 10 ISTEP+ to receive a high school diploma. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.
