I personally had a great experience at Carrick High School. My favorite part is the teachers! There are multiple teachers there who I will never forget, and they worked their hardest to help you learn. They made the environment very comfortable and made it feel like you were family.
The teachers are fantastic! The halls are too crowded, but I really like it here. We have a horrible reputation for violence and drugs, but in all honesty, my experience has been really pleasant. We're just based out of a bad neighborhood. The staff really cares about us and about our education: they want us to be successful and happy. We don't deserve all the flak we get.
Carrick high school is what you make of it. There are teachers there that will impact your life more than you will know and there are teachers that are there just for their check. If you’re lucky enough to enquire one of those teachers who will do anything to see you succeed you can not take that for granted. When I attended carrick high school 50% of the teachers I had truly cared about me and made my experience overall better than what it would have been like if I was just consumed by the negative energy of other students. Many people that speak of carrick will say poor things of this school and, personally, I believe it’s mostly the students that attend there that makes the school less bearable to other students due to the fact that they just don’t care about their education or anyone else in there. Essentially any high school has their ups and downs but if you want a good experience and you put yourself out there you will get it if it’s at carrick or not.
