I love the improvements that Carroll High School has made,but it saddens me at the same time. When I attended the school there honestly wasn''t much support from the faculty and staff, being that most students already came from an impoverished neighborhood. I feel that if the school had more willingness to have one-on-one sessions with most students the graduation percentage would have sky rocketed years ago. Everything starts from within first, so starting from the principal of the school down to the bottom of the food chain is how things should be implemented.
