New principal (for year 2026) is absolutely HORRIBLE. She has changed all the fun stuff that made the kids want to learn. Almost seems like she’s making these kids feel like cellmates. She’s taking away all the fun stuff for the kids . Yes the kids have to learn as well BUT, they are KIDS and deserve to have fun outside and with physical education. However, THIS LADY has taken all that away almost 100%. I’m taking my children out of this school. Used to be such an amazing school but all it takes is for one person to ruin it all. Many parents, including myself, are absolutely disgusted with this new principal. I no longer recommend the school.

Mount Carmel elementary is a school where every child is encouraged to grow and succeed. The staff is caring and dedicated and consistently goes above and beyond to support students academically, socially and emotionally. Teachers take the time to build meaningful relationships with every student. The school is an excellent choice for families looking for a supportive and encouraging school community.

One thing I don't understand about this school is why is it important for a child to tuck his shirt in his pants what does that have to do with education.They are children let them grow they are not in the military yet they are there to learn not to worry about weather they are going to get in trouble cause the shirt is not tucked in its the only elem school I know that does this.Rate this school BAD.

The school is horrible roaches everywhere and very nasty this school needs to be shut down immediately ASAPPPPP and they have bad staff,teachers,administrators, and janitors they don’t even clean all they do is yell at you all day and the janitors wanna be teachers so BADDDDDDDD

The main reason we ultimately decided to move our daughter to another school was the difficulty we experienced getting the support she needed. Our daughter has a speech delay and receives accommodations and therapy, including support from her LEAP teacher.Unfortunately, her LEAP teacher was not allowed to come into the classroom to work with her where she needed help, and there were multiple stipulations placed on when and how the LEAP teacher was allowed to see our daughter. As a parent, this was extremely frustrating because our goal has always been to make sure our daughter has access to the support and accommodations she needs to be successful.Since changing schools, the difference has been significant. Her new school has been welcoming and supportive of her LEAP teacher. Her classroom teachers actively communicate and collaborate with the LEAP teacher to make sure our daughter is receiving the support she needs related to her speech delay, therapy, and accommodations.Seeing what that collaboration can look like has reinforced that moving her was the right decision for our family. We wanted an environment where the people supporting our daughter could work together as a team and focus on what was best for her, and unfortunately, we did not feel that was happening at her while she was at this school.
