Best High school in Canada

E	Erik Andersen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great school, great community, unforgettable experience! I graduated June 2014 and it was an experience I will never forgot. Throughout elementary, and junior high my grades would fluctuate from 60s to high 90s. Often times I would do more poorly in the courses I'd enjoy, but my teachers could never understand why. I found that other students were setting me back when I understood a concept right away, thus I would get bored and get in trouble; or they were pushing me through the material before I was ready to move on. At Carroll, I was able to work through the concepts I understood quickly, giving me more time to allot towards the material I found challenging. I suffer from ADHD, and many doubted my success. The truth is, many students who you'd least suspect, thrive in a school with such freedom. The ability to absorb the material best suit to your needs, allows you to work through it more quickly. Overall I would rank this school, the #1 school (from vancouver island to Toronto) I have ever attended. Eberyone gets along as a community. There is no grade separation, everyone works in one big group where everyone can help each other.
L	Lewis Patenaude on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the best school in the city. I highly recommend everyone come here because of how amazing it is. You will never be disappointed with your decision.
A	Ann Maina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's an amazing school that's help shape who I am as a young adult. I think it's value is held in its willingness to allow students to explore on their own. The ability to make decisions on your own without feeling like you need to get permission for everything. It gives you a sense of independence and helps students understand how to take responsibility and that every action or lack thereof has a consequence. Also known as procrastination. Shout out to Miracle May!
C	Chris Gloria on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome high school experience! My time management skills as well as my work ethic improved dramatically. University is going so smooth and I attribute much of my success to this unique school and opportunities it gave me. Lots of work but definitely rewarding!
E	Enya Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Carroll lacks basic student support and it's extremely unfortunate. The idea of independent learning is fantastic; however, for one to actually have an adequate learning environment at this school there needs to be at least some level of organization, and there currently is very little of that. I've been kicked out of designated study areas while trying to work, encountered condescending staff, and have waited in lines snaking around the school just to write a test. If you enjoy desperately trying to self advocate with no avail, then perhaps you will like it here more than I did.
C	Calgary Man on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the best school bar far in Calgary, I’ve never been so happy in my life. Ms Visy is a world class teacher, Calgary is lucky to have her.
L	Liam Andrews on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Legally Blonde was terrific, janitor yelled at us. 3/5
M	Maria Escobar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The teachers should genuinely put aside their personal opinions on students and focus on helping them with their work. They should know that every student has their own independent way of learning and if they ever needed help, the student should feel confident to ask their questions. Not only that, the teachers and even the vice principal should be more professional with the struggling students instead of scolding them and creating mental trauma. A student should feel comfortable talking to a teacher without worrying about where the conversation will lead. I don't think this school even deserves a star. I'm aware that they deal with teenagers, but they tend to forget that these are kids transitioning into adults. They tend to have delicate feelings and they always seem to assume their backstories. I strongly suggest either finding new teachers or talk to the current ones to change their ways of communicating with students and work on their obvious favoritism.
