GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked the school at first but then it felt like the teachers were only there to get a paycheck instead of teaching the students and keeping the them safe. The teachers who taught a trade was more hands on and seemed to worry more about the students then the Principal.

What I like about CVTHS is they care about me passing and they try to find different ways to help me with my education. A lot of the teachers have coach classes to try to help us if we're struggling with their class and my teachers would also try to put me in different programs that will be able to help the students through their high school experience and/or classes. I like how Carver also try to sometimes turn learning into something fun. CVTHS has a lot of hands-on stuff so you'll be able to experience whatever trade you have on hand.

Carver is a great school to setup kids who don't plan on attending college. I've had great experiences with the student body as a whole. The area of school is not the best and we could use a lot more resources.

CARVER focuses more on trade and less on college prep, and in todays world that could be a huge mis-step. TRADE CAREERS are no longer as gainful as...

What can a parent say that sets high expectations for their children? I am a mother of 5 and have 3 students that graduated from the BCPSS. My fourth daughter attends Carver, her 9th grade year I have to say that I was really concerned about keeping her there. However I didn't want to teach her to r...
