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.

The sports at this school are so horrible they don't even have a football team but a golf team ? they need to focus on better getting better sports teams instead of trying to be inclusive all the time.

This school provided a lot of support for students. There is nothing bad I can say about this school, and they certainly strive for perfection and achieve it.

My experience at Carver Center has both been entirely what I'd expected, and then some. The facility is beautiful, the people are all so kind, and the teachers genuinely care about you as an individual. They treat you like a professional, and give you so much valuable experience. There are 11 primes in all, and there are multiple options for you to explore. It really is one of the best schools in my opinion, and it's only gotten better.

Our daughter LOVED her experience at Carver! She was in the literary program and wrote/edited/published a book her senior year! The school spirit is tangible, and the students support each other. GREAT teachers and motivating environment!

I was at Carver and I am not impressed either by the staff or the academics. It tries to be very exclusive; however, not very special. Mostly students are comprised of teachers own children; so, they tend to exclude all other county students. Its a trade school; so, if you want your student to start...

Carver is an amazing school; the teachers and staff truly care about every student and afford them the opportunities to excel. We feel so lucky that our student was able to get into and attend Carver.
