Not many people know about Carteret, its a small town. Carteret is a very diverse community, a safe place for new families to build their homes. I have been living in Carteret for a little over a decade. The community is like a second family to me. There are 3 elementary 1 middle, 1 junior high, and a 1 highschool. The parks are clean, the people are open minded. Carteret may not be very popular, but to the residents of Carteret its home!
The school system is totally below average. The mayor and the school’s administration should spend more money and resources to improve the schools. They should hire better teachers. They should care for our kids because they deserve a better future. They should be investing more on our kids. I had to send my kids to the catholic school, but I should not have to if the schools were much better.
I like Carteret because of its people, diversity everywhere and the most welcoming of people. The schools are improving every single day and the teachers are amazing too. There's also a lot of construction going on, which will make living in Carteret even better. There will be a ferry going to New York and a medical center. I honestly can't find anything wrong with Carteret, some areas do need a lot more improvements because they can be unsafe but that is in any community. Overall, great for families! Also, because Amazon moved one of its headquarters near here there's an abundance of jobs.
