There was an incident in one of the parking lots and a kid was pinned under a car. While admin told parents not to park in that lot since it is next to where students enter and exit school, it is not fully enforced. The former AP used to patrol the lot after school, but no one does this any more. My parents went to pick up my daughter the other day and were not asked for an ID even though they had never seen the secretary before and therefore she did not know who my daughter was. My father has called twice about the lack of staff/adults monitoring the large parking lot to ensure smooth flow of traffic. He was told twice it would be taken care of, but it never was.

The parents, students and teachers are amazing. I feel the principal is not culturally sensitive, though. I was shocked when I, as a African American female told her I was going to apply to be a sub in the district a few years back, her response was something along the lines "I think you need certain education/schooling for that." I was so shocked, I didn't know what to do.

My daughter moved to Carver from West Covina Unified School District, and she struggled to catch up with her classmates but after bit she got better because of her teachers patients with her. Most of the teachers are very nice and helpful. I would recommend it.
