Excellent school that really prepared my daughter for college

as a previous student, it’s an ok school. there are a lot of teachers who really care and try their best, but it’s just so crowded. I had almost no classes with less than 30 people, with my biggest being like 40. mostly accepting if you’re in more of the nerdier/honors classes side of things, but not as much in other groups. i am still annoyed by a mindful minute where we were told to “push down the sadness and negative emotions” because ah yes great idea bottle up your feelings. the long and the short is, it’s ok as a school but very overcrowded and kinda clique-y

Avoid this school if you are a person of color, mixed or an out-of-state transplant. Avoid Carmel as well. It feels like going back in time. Racism and bullying are terrible and not handled properly. Incidents are frequent. Microagressions are not only tolerated, but normalized. They protect their own. Students and teachers use foul language in the classroom. As a result of this environment, students' grades suffer and they are miserable. It all comes down to leadership. Or a lack thereof. Common values such as respect, kindness, curiosity, community, tolerance and respecting differences do not exist here. Staff and students are very cliquish. Teachers only teach to the test. Students do not learn what they need to become successful, independent thinkers. There is more to a school than it's rating. This school district is overrated and you can find much better programs in other school districts or private/magnet schools. There are also much nicer places to live outside of Carmel.
