Do not send your kids to this school. Just go to any freshman teacher at Sanderson and they'll tell you that they know when you a student was at CarrollIt's because they have to re-teach them everything they should have already learned. They also don't do grades. So you have no idea how your kid doing. You're either Progressing or Needs more Progressing. What does that even mean? No honor role recognition. Our daughter went all three years mainly because of her friends and being a cheerleader. Our son transferred after 6th grade to West Millbrook. Much better experience and was way further along at Sanderson than our daughter.

We’re only in our second year at Douglas but so far are very happy with the quality of staff and overall education. My daughter who’s in first grade absolutely loves going to school every day and gets so excited by the variety of specials the school offers (e.g., dance, drama, music, art, science, etc). Communication with parents is great as well and I always feel in the loop. We are frequently made aware of how our child is doing academically, socially, behaviorally, emotionally, developmentally, etc. Could not be happier with our school family at Douglas!

My daughter attended this school for four years and had good teachers. However, the counselor was not very helpful, so she had to seek assistance from a different counselor. The art teacher is wonderful. The school infrastructure needs updates, and there should be better communication with parents.
