I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cario Middle School. The administrators and staff demonstrate exceptional dedication to every child each and every day. I am a firm believer that a child's academic success is dependent on feeling secure and at ease in their learning environment, and Cario Middle School exceeds these expectations. I am proud to say that my children are Cario Comets! Natalie Verdetto, Cario Parent
I love walking into Cario every morning and seeing all of my friends. It is such a welcoming school and the teachers are very nice. Cario is the best middle school in Mount Pleasant! Layla McCarty, Grade 7
