From a class of 2023 alumni,
Do NOT send your kids to this school. Not only will it not prepare them for life and college ahead, the environment is corrupting.
Teachers (for the most part) don’t care about education and simply sit around bored. The inconsistency between teachers who don’t care at all and those that push students far past their limits makes for a bad academic style.
If your child isn’t
1. a Franklin Square native
2. an avid sports player
3. From the FS UFSD
They won’t have a normal high school experience. Expect rampant bullying, stressful behavior, and bad actions which result in little-to-no punishments.
The administration of this school fails to assist parents and students in their endeavors, expect to be treated as a nobody unless you’re a part of the many families that are “native” to the area since the 1980s.
The school has been rapidly deteriorating since 2020, whether it’s due to the pandemic or the administration.
Don’t send your children here.

I enjoyed my time at Carey. I think classes are teachers are very good. I wish they did a better job prepping students for college and teach us resources such as loans, scholarships, army, etc. Also wish they had programs to help us get ahead in college such as medical assistant certification, dental assistant certification, etc.

Carey High school was a great experience. Everyones very friendly and it feels as if we are all one big family! The sports games are exciting to watch but certain sports get treated better than others. Football and Lacrosse gets most of the money leaving softball with not much. The softball fields are always a mess and never properly cared for. Softball has old jerseys while the boys teams are always getting new and expensive jerseys and merchandise. Its just sad to see one sport get treated better than the others.
