8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to East Carteret as parents of a rising junior. My husband is an East Carteret alumni. Our son had attended only private schools in Raleigh which communicated very well with parents, so we were spoiled. East Carteret welcomed our son with open arms. We couldn’t have been happier with anything except communication.East Carteret is attempting to hold students accountable for communication. While I appreciate this, I’m not sure it is working especially for male students. I’m not trying to step on toes or offend or make excuses. I’m just proving constructive criticism.My personal opinion is that for completely successful students, parental involvement is necessary—even in high school. Maybe some believe this is helicopter parenting. East Carteret does send a voicemail each week to parents, but all information is not provided here. Emails are ONLY sent to students. I was not notified my graduating senior was receiving an award on awards night. I did not attend. What a huge disappointment.THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING SCHOOL IN EVERY OTHER WAY!!! WE REALLY APPRECIATED EVERYTHING!!!! I was completely satisfied with level of education provided. I loved teachers and the “feeling” of the school. Top notch school!!!!Other Review3y ago - Smyrna Elementary School
