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.

Teachers who teach here are very unprofessional. Very rude, worsum, and childish. When it comes to them grading and dealing with students work they wait until school is almost over and they will also cheat your grade. Ms.Hayden is one of these unprofessional teacher many students have complained about, yet she still works here.

Although I only attended George Washington Carver High School for two and an half years my overall experience was great. My teachers were great I was able to come to them about anything if I had a question or if I just wanted to talk I was able to do that with my teachers.
