The pros are that they have a lot of electives and learning pathways and great opportunities for the students. The biggest con is the principal, Julie Redfield. She allows her teachers to get away with discriminatory behaviors towards students even when their are documented witnesses and the teachers own written account. Parents are not considered partners, rather she is dismissive of any concerns raised. Students with differing beliefs, medical issues, and anxiety are not accommodated.l as she does not prioritize the needs of the individual student. When educators stop caring about kids, its time to retire. Carlsbad High could be great under the right leader and with getting rid of teachers that set the example with discrimination in the classroom.

My child has gone to this school for 4 years now. She has had the best possible experience with kind, supportive teachers, great peers, and a supportive, enthusiastic principal. The culture at this school is so positive and has kept my child engaged and happy throughout the years. I love that the principal personally greets each child every morning while playing uplifting music for the students to start their day feeling excited and valued. We are so grateful!

The principal demonstrates strong leadership, maintaining high standards while warmly greeting students outside the school each morning to ensure a safe and welcoming start to their day. The teachers are highly cooperative and experienced, fostering a positive and productive learning environment. The school actively involves parents in the educational journey, creating a strong partnership that enhances student growth and success.
