Students use drugs on campus, skip class, excessively disrespect the teachers and staff, etc. I recommend sending your child to a different school district if he/she is serious about their education.

In Carson, kids will enjoy Go Kart World. With numerous tracks and go-karts to choose from, kids will find this amusement park very exciting. Another fun destination for people of all ages is the International Printing Museum, focusing on the history of printing and machines.

The best place to buy seafood is Seafood City Supermarket, offering the best quality fresh seafood. Read Less
