| 12/5/2011 | parent | I have had 2 children who attended Carthage High School all four years. They received a great education, did very well on the ACT test, and had multiple academic scholarship offers. The school offers a wide range of advanced placement classes, dual credit classes, A+programs, as well as a fantastic technical school so there are many opportunities for students. Carthage School system was one of the first 5 high schools in Missouri to offer a biomedical career tract program:(http://www.carthage.k12.mo.us/HS/dept/depts/pltw/adams.html). The new high school is very spacious and technologically isone of the best. Most of the teachers are very involved with the students and the school. From the junior high through high school , my children only had one teacher that I would not recommend, and who is no longer teaching at Carthage. The Carthage school sysetm offers one of the more diverse student populations in southwest Missouri. Some parents may view that as a negative but my children enjoyed the diversity and felt it helped them prepare for life after high school. I would highly recommend the Carthage high school for academics and its extra-curricular programs. |
| 2/27/2009 | student | I attended this school for just the second semester of my senior year. I had been homeschooled before and had never been to a public or private high school. The faculty and students of this school were the nicest people ever. They bent over backwards to help me. The principal would always give me a hug when she saw me in the halls and when I passed my GED with the highest score, she, the office, and my professors congratulated me profusely. My teachers and counselor were amazing. When my father had a heart attack, me English teacher stayed with me, made me tea, drove me to my other's work so I could tell her, and then gave me her home phone number, telling me to call anytime. And after I graduated, my principal sent me a lovely long letter. There is no other school that is better than Carthage High. |
| 9/25/2004 | student | Carthage Senior High School is a good school. It is growing a lot. More kids are moving into the area. Although the space for students is getting small. I think we will be getting a new High School soon though. Carthage Senior High is a great place to send your students and it's even a good place to teach if you are looking for a job. |
