K-12 -- America's Favorite School

It is a wonderful learning environment with strong academcis as well as stellar enrichment activites. Every teacher seems to know and take an interest in the achievement of every chils. There are lots of active families who make everyone feel welcome. Carthay has become truly become a place wher my son loves to learn.

Carthay Center School has a fabulous garden and a fantasticly diverse group of involved parents!

My son Sebi always looks forwards to attending and participating in class. Plus we've been fortunate to have some great individuals as his teachers. Last but not least there is an amazing group of parents that goes above and beyond to make sure our students get the supplies and tools they need to form a strong educational foundation and succeed.

Carthay is a small neighborhood school with truly incredible resources: an excellent library and a librarian, Ms. Cruz, who is the heart and soul of the school; art, music, dance, and drama classes funded through the Arts Prototype program; a great special education program; a Gifted and Talented program; a pull-out intervention program; student teachers from USC helping in some classrooms; book clubs; a teaching garden, and much more. My kids have had outstanding teachers: dedicated, enthusiastic, passionate about teaching, and warmly supportive of all their students. There is a terrific group of active parents and volunteers from the community, a strongly supportive administration, and, best of all, a warm and wonderful sense of community.

it's the best
