Schools and Education in Carteret County

There are eighteen schools in Carteret County serving children from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. A total of 8,141 students were enrolled in schools in this community during the 2017-2018 school year. The average class size is on par or below state average, and the student-to-teacher ratio hovers around 14:1. That means your child gets additional attention from teachers should they need it!

Out of all eighteen schools, thirteen of them met or exceeded academic growth. School Academic Growth shows the progress of students compared to the average progress of other students across the state in a certain grade or subject; a school meets academic growth when its students are consistently progressing with the average and is listed as exceeding growth when its students are performing above the state average.

To have such a large percentage of schools in Carteret County that meet School Academic Growth qualifications means that there is ample opportunity for your student to excel in the classroom and prepare for future endeavors. Plus, with a mission to “graduate all students prepared to be productive citizens,” it’s no wonder the staff and administration at the schools throughout Carteret County work so hard to provide exceptional education.

Living in Carteret County

Aside from a great school system, there are plenty of other reasons to choose Carteret County as your new home. Visit the Croatan National Forest, watch for wild horses on Shackleford Banks, and kayak through the waterways. If you’re a history buff, you’ll want to visit the North Carolina Maritime Museum that houses artifacts from Queen Anne’s Revenge, Blackbeard’s sunken ship that lies mere miles off the coast. And speaking of shipwrecks, this area (now safe for boaters) is a wonderful area for divers. It’s not called a “wreck divers dream” for nothing!

Of course, being so close to the coast, you’ll never eat another fish stick again. Enjoy freshly caught seafood and friendly atmosphere wherever you choose to dine throughout the Crystal Coast.
