H.D. Cartwright School | Calgary Board of Education

Worst school ever

Its pretty bad i previously went to this school and i totally regret, it i could've been at a better school but i was stuck in a school like this.

Hdc has a great teaching program If I would recommend anything is to improve the reading/language arts area as the staff never focused on it except mrs Scott she actually did language arts The social studies are excellent plenty of fun things to do Math is great but they could give a bit less homework in this area Science could use more attention as they put math first and science last Gym is excellent they offer daily exercise and a great variety of activities Options is ok foods should teach more cooking the teacher is meh Construction great lots of fun Art excellent good art program lots of variety would not change at all The other options are all kinda bad to meh Music is excellent they teach it well would not change Environment the staff is a young too middle age mix who understand some of the issues modern day children have Office staff are great they are always happy working at hdc Students well most are good there are a few gangs of bad people popularity is import to not get teased at this school which is sad But most students are nice and willing to help anyone no matter what Class size is a huge issue at this school and the staff and CBE are doing nothing about it and not recognizing it is a problem some classes have 35 students for god sake Also the school is diverse whitch is good Over all I would rate a 3.5 star to 4.5 stars

Very Nice School.Teachers are hardworking and staff is friendly. I found this school very safe for my kids .All the students are Nice and well mannered .I like this School ...

its way better than most people say, great programs, and good kids.

The teachers are great i highly recommend enrolling this school. (From personal experience)

Decent school with a good emphasis on math and science. Daily gym classes is fun. Language arts (humanities) can use some more love though. Option classes, such as music, construction, food, arts are well equipped and the teachers are knowledgeable in the subject they are teaching. Most of the teachers are genuinely care about the students and have a good understanding of the issues that the students are going through. However, they sometimes can be obviously bias toward some random ideas that been flowing online.

i honestly loved this school, i’ve always been a quiet kid and my school before this was so bad, i got made fun of and people were really judgemental. this school has nice teachers, VERY nice and friendly students and i’ve been getting good grades
