So far I have no complaints about Carrigan. My child is in 5th grade and really likes going to school. She has a great teacher who is so helpful and makes learning fun for the students. Even with my child's learning disabilities she feels very comfortable being at school. At this point I am a happy parent.

Carrigan School is one of the best schools for grades 5-6.It is a great school beacuse everybody is very nice and caring.All teachers are very nice and outgoing they are nice and outgoing becuase if u have a frown on your face they can easily cheer you up.Other than the teachers personalities is that the school is very big not big enough to get lost in.

Definately not thrilled with Carrigan. There is a bullying problem at the school as well as on the buses, but even worse, there is a horrible morale problem. The teachers are constantly screaming at the kids, and the kids have no respect as a result. The principal is aloof and absolutely will not help you or respond when you have problems. To be fair, the assistant principal is very good, and there are some great teachers (some). My kid is at the top of the class, so trust me, we are involved and paying attention, but having to send our child to Carrigan leaves us feeling pretty hopeless. In the words of our child, "Carrigan is not my school." BUT, we are very happy with our child's main teacher. We are looking for ways to protect our younger child from Carrigan, however, as are all of our friends.
