Even though I no longer live in this school district, I cyberschool my kids because of the very poor education I received at Carmichaels. Not all the teachers were bad, though I have heard it has become much worse. But one example of the inferior education they provide: I made pretty much all As in high school, including math. Got to college, struggled to pass basic math. What Carmichaels views as A work is D level work in college. That is the fault of the education system. I had no idea my skills were so inferior. As a college freshmen, it is embarrassing. The previous reviewer who graduted in 1969 must not live in reality. This school has gone even further downhill since my own graduation a little over a decade ago, with more abusive teachers, more drug issues, and I wonder have they replaced the old textbooks from the 70s I used or have they continued to slip that to fund more important things like sports uniforms or renovations? I am 100% certain the good school that perhaps once existed 40 years ago is long gone. I was very excited once I moved out of this district so I never have to deal with them. As the administration are also very well known for verbally abusing and harrassing any family who chooses to homeschool. I feel very bad for all of this schools students. They deserve better. Then again most come from broken, abusive, drug ravaged families who simply don't care. The whole community is dying. The downward spiral at the school is i suppose merely a reflection of that harsh reality.
