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.

Let me say smth about Carver: u either like it or u hate it. I liked it, bc as far as middle schools go, it's pretty decent. No bullying, ur not worried abt randomly getting punched in the face in the hallway... etc, etc. But some ppl are ready to leave on day one. If u like sports, there are some teams that are good, like tennis, volleyball, and soccer but that's basically it. So I recommend playing outside of school. Some teachers suck, and some will be the greatest teachers u ever have. Take Physical Science in 7th if u can. And PLEASE j take Art and/or PE. U'll thank me later. The administration isn't the greatest, except for a couple ppl. So j try to avoid them at all costs. To sum things up, ur going to Carver for 1 of 2 reasons: either your parents are forcing u to go, or ur going bc u like to learn. If ur forced to go, ur prolly gonna hate it. If ur going bc u want to, ur prolly gonna like it. O - and if ur going bc of friends, y? Just y? Anyway gl :)

Very impressive school. Kids are smart and learn a lot. Teachers care and are mostly very good. The principal is outstanding. Be aware that the French program is very hard.

This school has been torture for the seven months that I have been here. Most teachers don't teach, and just get worksheets from ai and expect us to understand every topic perfectly. Others give us no work in class, then give us at least 2 hours of homework every class. Some teachers don't even know...

I have had 2 boys go through Carver and am very happy with their experience. There is no doubt that this is a challenging school in terms of academics. Kids are not coddled so as parents we need to be aware of that. Haven said that I have noticed their approach to HW has changed over the years. Ther...

Just the best experience we have had with public school.Principal Stroleny runs a tight ship! She's like Mary Poppins.The teachers are wonderful, especially science (Driggs, Vasquez), Language Arts (Vo), Civics (Kelly), and French (Winston).It's a lot of work but the kids learn a ton. Did not see bu...
