Carnage Middle School, Raleigh | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

well, i don’t really know if my opinion is enough to help you decide, but before you come to carnage/send your child to carnage, i think you should read this.

ok, to begin with, carnage is not a terrible school, despite what everyone tells you. there are some really great people here and you will make friends that you will love and appreciate. the academics are also great. so if academics are all you’re looking for in a school, carnage is the place for you, and you get great friends as a bonus. seems amazing right?
now some minor annoyances that will bother you: the bathrooms. they are terrible. im queasy and squeamish and get naeseous very easily. for me, they are literally hell. i went there a few times to toss my trash, three seconds, i almost threw up. not everyone is as queasy as me but be warned, they are BAD. also, the cafeteria. similar to the bathrooms, terrible smell. also, if you have motion sickness (also like me), that is unfortunate. but you can go to working lunch as much as possible, and avoid the bathrooms, and these annoyances won’t kill you.
it is very rare that someone enters carnage and leaves innocent. and it is definite that carnage will change you forever. i was so innocent at the beginning of sixth grade, naive and wanted friends. a full almost two years later, here i am with a refined vocabulary (of profanity). i also know a lot of dirty things now, as opposed to when i came to carnage… things i wish i never learned…..
some more bad things include fights, but those are inevitable at any school. we just have an excessive amount of them. another bad thing is that everyone here is depressed, maybe not clinically but the school will definitely make you feel upset with yourself, doubtful, stupid and insecure. and if you’re unlucky, like me, it will be hell.
back on the good things, the teachers are usually all very nice and supportive if you are a good student. even if you aren’t a good student, they cover the curriculum thoroughly and know what they’re doing. they’re amazing! the counselors are also very nice and helpful, though student services definitely needs work at the beginning of the year: students are put into the wrong classes! most of the school is clean, and your experience will definitely vary with others’ experiences, but it will be memorable in one way or another. maybe it will be hell. maybe it won’t. i’ll leave you to decide whether you want to come or not.

As a rising sixth grader I was pretty scared about going to Carnage when I read the reviews but honestly this school is pretty awesome. My teachers are really nice and the electives are very fun. The only reason I didn’t give this school five stars is because of the students here. In my elective classes there are seventh and eighth graders who are very disruptive during class and curse a lot. If you are trying to make it through the school year without getting killed make sure you are in the right friend group. Don’t get caught up in all of the craziness that there is here because there is a lot. There is a lot of fights going on sometimes in the hallways but if you just move past it and don’t get involved in it you will get used to it. Also don’t send your kids here if they are very sensitive because they just won’t make it.
