    "My daughter has attended Carter for 4 years now and we have had an absolutely wonderful experience with each teacher and each year that passes. The staff is kind and diligent. The principal is kind and cares for the children. The teachers are truly great in every aspect you would want as a parent for your child. I highly recommend this school! We feel blessed to call it our Elementary Home."

    "This will be the second year my daughter is attending carter. And I'm very happy about it. Her teacher last year was an absolute angel from Above. he ALWAYS made time to speak with parents and respected the children and regarded them with care and thoughtfulness. The PTO is so strong, so organized, and so very vital to this school. It makes me wish I had more time to donate to them. Without the PTO there would be no music performances, special activities and the poor teachers would be strecthed ever thinner than they are. It's great to know that so many Parents are there at the school to support the children. It's sad the cuts that the schools are suffering because of budget cuts.... While the superintendent of the district enjoys his pay raises. But the school has adabted beautifully. Thank you carter. My only complaint is that the front office staff is so snotty. The women in there have such a superior attitude I really dislike even having to engage them. Killin them with kindness. ;) looking forward to the next school year"

    "I love the school. My kids started to attend Carter Elementary last school year and I am happy about it. I can't believe how much kids are reading. My son wasn't a big reader, but now he is enjoying reading and I don't even have to tell him to read anymore. I love the math curriculum too. Teachers put so much energy to give attention to individual kids' improvement. They work so hard. Communications with teachers are excellent too. When I sent an email to ask a question, they sent me back right away. PTO is very active to help the school. Great organization. Many parents are involved for classroom or school volunteer. The great thing is parents are willing to help not being obligated. I have not heard any complains from other parents and I don't have any either. (Maybe one... the picking up kids is a little bit too hectic?)"

    "I am very happy that my daughter got a chance to attend this school. I really like the way teacher works with each students in their class, The Homework covers everything which they need to do on based of their grade, My dughter is having fun in her second grade class. I will also have my son to go into this school once he would be 5 years old. PTO program in this school is very helpful and keep you in loop about their activities in school. I love this school so does my daughter. The teachers are wonderful. Thank you very much carter for taking my daughter in your school. Great School!!!"
