If you can, avoid sending your child to this school. There are much better schools elsewhere.

Most teachers are okay and care about their students, but the math department lacks teachers who are able to teach all levels. There is a lot of bullying especially in the athletic fields. Overall the school is average compared to other high schools.

South Carroll is a great, safe learning environment where students can get a high level of education in one of the best school systems in the state. Good sports programs. New music and arts facilities. Positive atmosphere.

I just moved here with my kids from Virginia. I have a son going there now for junior year. I have to agree with the other reviews. This school has many sports to participate in. I feel like my son is getting a great preview of many career possibilities. He can go to the Career and Tech Center for testing out programs like CAD drawing and earn college credits. Also he is taking a few AP classes right now so he is getting well prepared for both college and the work field. A school well done.
