(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Carpenter has an array of wonderful enrichment programs, funded by the parent group, that make this school special. The new principal is fabulous, energetic and full of new ideas. There are a lot of students on this campus, but the efforts of the parent organization are incredibly helpful.

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - As a parent of a son who has recently graduated from the 5th grade, and experiencing a wonderful graduation ceremony. I discovered today that my son was not allowed to participate at the school party for all 5th graders. Neither his mother or I were informed that he would have to spend the entire day in a 2nd grade class away from the fun and with no lunch. My son now feels the teacher hates him, and this is no way for an 11 year old child to finish his school year, or his elementary experience. Please note, that I am filing a formal complaint with the school district tomorrow.
