My experience at carver early college has been alright I wish there was more guidance for seniors and just everyone into our careers. I understand that others can't hold our hands the entire time through the getting older process but it feels like you're all alone on this pathway. The best part may be the people I've met so far and the people I hope to meet. I would like to see more clubs being added and more one on one time with the students to ask for their opinions on school life things.

I liked the atmosphere of the school and how everyone there tries to push students to apply to colleges or go to the military. One thing I want to see change is the strict uniform policy because most people can't afford uniforms and would get sent to ISS automatically.

As a student at carver, you are expected to have no grade lower than 75% but there is no chance to show that off. The students and teachers both play favoritism and aren't the best at showing respect to others. The food is horrible, every day you eat pizza. The discipline is not great either, you just get suspended for no reason. you can't do anything fun so it's like jail. You have to sit down at the pep rallies while the other school can do it all.

I love the school, I think they need to work on bullying and behavioral issues that are going on there. It really needs to be more streak on attire and clothes. I love the early college partnership at GSU.

I took my son out of woodward Academy and rolled thought I was rolling the dice sending him to Carver Early College. What I found was a great learning enviornment, caring but not enabling teachers, and a dynamic principal. The GSU partnership is awesome at other schools he'd have to take all AP clas...
