Not a bad place to be a teacher considering how bad education is at the moment.

Great Administrators and co-workers

Carrolltowne Elementary has wonderful Administrators and a caring faculty/staff. It's a great environment to get your feet wet in the system. If you are currently doing custodial work I suggest you consider Carroll County Public Schools. The health insurance and benefits are amazing. Since Indeed does have reviews for CCPS, it can lead you to believe they post Job openings on Indeed. This is not the case. Please visit the CCPS website for current listings. They are usually hiring all over the county. So no matter where you live, you should be able to find something that works for you.

Great place

This is a great place to work. They really care about the students and their goals in life. There are many opportunities for the teachers to take a hands on role in leadership in the system.

The longer you are here does not matter the new hires are paid more then the people who worked here for 20 years

This place seems great when you start here but the longer you are here the worse it gets. Government jobs are not what they used to be every year they take more and more away. They say they are giving you a 2 percent raise and then tell you your part of the insurance has went up 5 percent. That's no raise that is taking away in my book. I do not recommend working here.NOT GOOD!!!

Pros

Good people to work with

Cons

Bad bosses to work for

Rate your recent company

Share your experience to help others

Ideally independent

The only downside is the freedom. New teachers may experience some difficulties with the absence of a pacing guide, depending on the department. More seasoned teachers would probably revel in being able to be king of your own curriculum. The county is family and community orientated with an understanding admin.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, supportive environment, freedom to make classroom decisions

Cons

Not much to speak of.

No diversity, small town. little professional development , administration was supportive of work/life balance , tight knit community ,

No diversity, small town, little professional development , administration was supportive of work/life balance , tight knit community, doesn’t seem to hire outside of community , most enjoyable part of job was work hours. The most difficult part of job was working with non supportive parent community , I learned a lot of activities and programs that help students transition to one level to the next, not too many employees come from other counties or states

Easy work with steady hours

Easy work with steady hours. You’re told what to do and as long as you do you’re part in your section you will have no problem. Management does not help employees with their work

Excellent place to work

Very supportive administration. I had the support I needed to be successful. The only area for improvement is advancement. There are very few entry level management positions. This requires you to leave if you want to advance.

Carroll County = Best County

Carroll county public schools are full of truly dedicated teachers and staff. I have never worked in an environment as professional and rewarding as I have at CCPS.

Pros

Watching students grow

Cons

Board of directors are typical politicians

If the going to teach - go to a different County

Any other county will pay you better in the beginning and over the long haul. CCPS continually makes it clear they do not care about their teachers and staff. The county has been taking a bit each year with more teachers leaving and it's becoming less tolerant of diversity.

best colleagues to work with

The best part about this job is working with the students, but the faculty is also amazing! Many want to help, learn and grow together. Overall it is a great place to work with good benefits.

Fantastic school system that cares

This school system really cares about about its employees. Working for CCPS was some of the best times I ever had. I made some great friends over the years!
Was this review helpful?

This school cares about all of the students and make sure they are taken care of away from school.

This is the best school to teach at and everyone works together. Many times students take food home for the weekends or days not scheduled. There are curriculum choices in place that anyone can use for all subjects. Fundraising is minimal.

Pros

I can freely do my job as a professional without someone challenging my every move.

Cons

There are none. It is awesome to work there.

Awful Government school. Ridiculously over bloated admin and awful teachers

Worst school system. Awful to work for. No support, just criticism. Admin pay themselves Very well and waste our taxpayer money. Committee assignments can launder money very nicely without providing g the community with anything! More admin raises yay! They allLie and cheat you.Guess what? The benefits are okay. I’m leaving for Florida and good schools

Rewarding

I am a SSA in a specialized program for CCPS. I have worked there for the last 6 years, and I love what I do. I love working with my students and knowing that I am making a difference. However, in the last two years I am doing the job of a contracted employee without the contract or any benefits. It is a very stressful job, and I do more than what I am asked in my job description and receive no compensation.

Pros

Rewarding

Cons

Little support, no benefits, pay

Easy internship learning experience

Interned for the Transportation Department for two summers, 2018 and 2019. 8AM-4PM with a hour for lunch. Amazing supervisor and coworkers willing to help and teach on-the-job. Slightly boring intern busywork for some of the day, but also got to work on new projects and incoming technology during downtime and assist the supervisors. Occasional stressful phone calls from parents. Intern salary felt low, but was expected for the work.

Pros

Great coworkers, set lunch, meaningful work

Cons

Busywork, dated software

Central Office filled with liars

The system is a total cluster flop from the superintendent on down. There needs to be a thorough AUDIT of the entire school system. The best thing about this job was quitting time.

Pros

Quitting time

Cons

GROSS mismanagement. There NEEDS to be an audit and unnecessary positions eliminated.

Exhausting but I loved working with the kids

I enjoyed working with all the kids at the high school but the amount of stress was insane . I had a good mentor teacher who tried their best . The admin for the most part was supportive minus my individual administrator. They were condescending and not helpful in their feedback . I think they took more pleasure from humiliating teachers and students than being a helpful supportive leader . Overall i feel like you’d need to have a tie to the community to work in Carroll County .

Pros

Kids and seeing them progress

Cons

Behavioral issues, Some admin issues, and pay

Good workplace regarding the staff.

Nice place to work; the staff is supportive; the job is flexible. You can set your own hours because you don't have to be in one place to be able to do the job well.
