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.

Carver is a great schools when it comes to keeping us safe, teaching, and preparing us for the next leave. I would say Carver can work on having more school spirit activities like pep rallies and senior assembles.

Still attending so I don't know much about all of the other stuff since school is in its 2-3rd week. The school so far has been fairly neutral neither bad nor good in a sense. The administration are highly passionate about their students and the teachers do everything they can to help; it's a fairly decent school but if you're expecting better go to a magnet school.

My first experience of Carver was pretty rough because that is when the pandemic started and I had to be virtual and its was rough.My best experience is the football and basketball games them games be the best and they are very fun.What I would like to see change is the teacher because some teachers do not be teaching and expect us to know everything off rip.
