These reviews are all about the gifted program if you aren’t gifted it’s like you don’t matter teachers are always taking days off and they have hall sweeps which makes it harder to get to class because they get drowned with overwhelming thoughts about a hallsweep when they take your phone it goes to the police officer and they call your guardian to get it if the guardian can’t get the phone they keep it until the next morning when your child arrives which makes parents AND students angry, sad, and a bunch of other feelings it isn’t fair they dont give it back because they were on it what if it was an emergency? or they absolutely needed to text an adult to pick them up or something terrible happened and they can’t take it anymore that just adds to the stress of the child for the day but now to bring up being in gifted they give out SO MUCH HOMEWORK!!!! it is simply unfair for students to have to go home and do all the work leaving about no time to do anything for themselves but if you are lucky you have teachers that dont give out much hw because they know the issues it can cause like adults being frustrated with the child and angry that they cant get the child to get the answer and the child getting upset that they are being yelled at over something they are confused on or just can’t remember what they learned in class which isnt their fault because there are 6 classes a day so we can’t expect them to remember EVERYTHING they learn its 55 minutes per class and i know there are schools that have an hour an a half of learning now there is the reflection den a room that they send kids to for bad behavior sometimes it is necessary sometimes it is NOT i think teachers are overusing the power if sending kids out so I wouldn’t recommend sending your child here or else you might here a TON of complaints about the rules and unfairness towards the kids

So far very impressed with academic support staff, guidance staff and teachers for accommodations

Carrcroft has been a great fit for my children. The teachers are great. The specials teachers are great. The administration is great. They are innovative, using current research to implement such things as no homewoek besides reading, mindfulness to help with self regulation, and many positive and wholistic programs that benefit the children and the overall community feel of the school.
