The best thing I can say about my school is that we are a family. When other schools talk down on us we stand together and dont let it happen

Carver is a great school. It provides the students with excellent education with hard work and challenging courses that gives them an idea of how colleges is. They provides pathways for different career choices and allow kids to double up on different courses such as the math courses. Most of the teachers are good at their job and encourage students to ask for help. The food for lunch isn't the best and they could have more sports and a better variety of clubs. Also they could allow students to have more freedom during school hours .

My experience at George Washington Carver High School was alright. The best part of my high school life there was being apart of their amazing band. That's where i learned the most other than any other class or activity at the school
