Carmel High School is a school of 856 students and 50-plus faculty members, situated directly off of Highway 1 within the city of Carmel, California. Carmel High is known for its lovely view of the Santa Lucia Mountains with a peek of Point Lobos and the Pacific Ocean. It is in one of the most affluent school districts in California, due to a state law which allows the school to opt out of ADA (average daily attendance) funding, choosing instead to receive revenue from local property taxes, which in Carmel's case, are quite high. As a result, Carmel High School salary schedules for teachers, counselors, and administrators are amongst some of the highest in the state of California. Carmel Unified Schools District is the second largest geographical district in the state of California enrolling students as far as 40 miles south of Carmel and 20 miles east. Cities represented by Carmel High School students include Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, and Carmel Valley. Built in 1940, the school has recently made significant capital improvements including a new performing arts theater, math wing, science wing, and library with plans to renovate the current administration building. Both the theater and science wing utilized "green" construction practices, such as solar panels and energy efficient lights and appliances. The library has approximately 16,000 volumes and is equipped with wireless communication. ==Academics== Carmel High School offers an extensive Advanced Placement curriculum including: AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Chinese, AP Computer Science, AP Environmental Science, AP French, AP Government & Politics, AP Human Geography, AP Language & Composition, AP Literature & Composition, AP Spanish, AP Statistics, AP Studio Art 2D, AP United States History, and AP World History. Due to an open-enrollment program, Carmel High School has strong participation in the AP Program with over 396 students (46%) completing at least one AP Exam. Over 72% of students earn a passing score (3 or higher) with a 66% overall pass rate.

As of 2014, the average ACT score for CHS students was a 26.4 while the average SAT score was a 1767. Valedictorians at Carmel High School are required to have taken a minimum of 13 Honors or Advanced Placement courses (earning nothing below an A-) in order to be considered in the valedictorian running. The single valedictorian is chosen by a committee of counselors, teachers, and administrators who evaluate rigor of coursework, standardized testing scores, extracurricular involvement, and contributions to both the school and community when determining the valedictorian. Recent valedictorians of Carmel High School are currently enrolled at Harvard (CHS Class of 2011), (Westmont ) (CHS Class of 2012), Stanford (CHS Class of 2013), and UC Berkeley (CHS Class of 2014). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carmel High School (Carmel, California)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
