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.

This school has been wonderful for my son! As a new student, he has made a ton of friends, the teachers are very kind and caring, and this school provides STEAM, music, art, and PE classes, which not all schools do. We are so happy with the progress he’s made and I feel that he’s getting a well-rounded education.

I think that this school is pretty good overall if you live in the area. Although classes and teachers can be difficult sometimes, it’s easy if you are ok top of your grades and doing well. PE can be unfair at times to certain students, not giving you a pass if you can’t run or if you don’t have a doctors note. (So if you have a broken leg w/out a doctor’s note, you still gotta run) The people there can be nice if you find ones with similar interests as you. Some of the teachers can be really nice, but also really mean, depending on your personality or attitude in the class. Advanced classes are difficult as well, so make sure to ask for help. The counselors will do anything in their power to help, however, they might not always say or give you the advice you want to hear. In general, no, this isn’t the best middle school out there. But, it’s pretty good, even though it can be unfair sometimes.
