I go here and everything is very nice. The teachers are all experienced and know what they are doing. (Except one, but that's opinionaited.) They have accelerated programs for those who learn faster. They include Accelerated Reading: Only in 6th grade. Accelerated Language: Only 7th and 8th grade. And Accelerated Math: All grades. The janitors keep the school in very clean condition. They also have lots of other great off-subject types of classes. These may include Graphic Arts, Web Design, Band and Choir, Jazz Band, Life Skills, and lots more. They do offer discounted/free school lunches for those with financial troubles. And if you are not one of those people, there is a wide variety of Ala Carte to choose from. So if you are moving and have children, think about moving in the Northwest Allen County district. Specifically, Carroll Middle School.
