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.

Looking back on my memories, Carver is easily one of the best schools I've ever been too. Some teachers were awful, but the good ones far outweighed the bad. So many teachers that helped me grow as a student and as a person. Honestly some of the best years. So much diversity and culture.

Carver was a nice school and the teachers were very involved. The environment was safe and I never felt endangered. The school was clean for the most part and the sports teams were fantastic.
