Carlson has been an awesome community school! Our kiddo started here in Kindergarten and has moved up through the grades. Every year, our child's teacher has been great, develops a strong bond with our kid and the other students, is very responsive, and communicates well with us. Our kiddo is advanced in reading by several grades, and each year, the teachers make sure that she's being challenged, often grouping her for practice with other students who are at the same level. So we feel like kiddo's learning things and not stagnant. All of the teachers seem to work together as a team, as we've had a lot of integration between her art, music, gym, and library classes with her normal class. Everyone has been super friendly, and the community feel is great when we come in for conferences, spring concert, rec nights, etc. This year, even though kiddo was remote, they did a great job considering the situation. Our kid was still able to bond with the teacher and grow in her reading and math this year.
