Open Quote Carmel Elementary School is the best school that I have ever stepped foot into. The teachers are caring and truly work their butts off for the success of their students. The students are supported by faculty and admin from every direction. Carmel deserves 5 stars in every category! Close Quote

Open Quote This school was rated at a 7/10 before we moved to this new community. However, it seems it has now been rated 5/10 and I would wholly concur with that rating. This school is underperforming. It is below average. Meaningful communication between the administration and parents is non existent even after multiple family members have reached out via email. Meaningful communication between my son’s 3rd grade teacher is nonexistent. We barely see work class work come home. There no opportunity to review common mistakes when nothing comes home. The homework is inadequate. We have had to pay for private tutoring in order for our son to get the extra instruction he needs. All of the tutors say how bright he is, but I fear an otherwise bright student will fall behind if we keep him in this school. In fact, the tutoring facility had a conference with his teacher and experienced the same lack of depth in communication and educational know how that we are seeing. Their only comment was that the teacher was nice. They couldn’t get much more than that even after attempting to lead the conversation. The applications, Canvas mainly, but also ParentSquare, that they use are inferior. The facilities are below average. I cannot wait until we move into our new home so that we can get my son out of this place. Cherokee County schools in general have been a disappointment. We were unable to get our child into the school that services the neighborhood our home is being built in because of some antiquated rules about zoning even though our home is scheduled to be completed this month - well before the end of the school year. I have my suspicions that these rules have more to do with politics and income than serving the community. We are considering private school if this new school (Woodstock Elementary) doesn’t do better than Carmel. This has been the absolute worst educational experience for any of us, including my 21 year old daughter. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
