George Middle School

Okay, I work in Carroll County, but I don't have school-aged children.

Here're my two cents on this issue:

If we can't even have one person from the school district that even knows a student that goes there well enough to write a review about the school, what does that say about the residents of that school district as a whole??

Think about that the next time you think of moving to Carroll County because of the schools.

If you can afford the private schools nearby, like Kirk, Pillow, or any of the other academies, send them there if you want them to be in a more academically challenging environment, which is what they seem to be, though I wouldn't count on Carroll or Winona Christian to be the most academically challenging schools. They're good schools, but WC and Carroll are just too all about sports and preparing them for schools like Ole Miss not enough about getting your kids prepared to go to the the academically rigorous colleges like Vanderbilt, Tulane, or even Millsaps or Mississippi College for that matter.

But, if you're White or Asian, or even Latino, and not from the area, It appears that, like many nearby remote rural schools like George, it will be not only not an academically challenging environment, but it will be a total fish-out of water experience for your child.

I'm not saying "Don't move to Carroll County", just think about that if you are considering moving with a family to Carroll County.
