Carver has been a really amazing school overall. I have been at Carver four years and have not regretted it once. The teachers, staff, and administrators make the school as a whole a better place. The students can really be the best or at times the worst. The least enjoyable part is when students have altercations. However these do not happen often. The food is as best it can be with the restrictions on food. Overall the atmosphere is great and you can have the best high school experience.

Carver is a great schools when it comes to keeping us safe, teaching, and preparing us for the next leave. I would say Carver can work on having more school spirit activities like pep rallies and senior assembles.

I had an English teacher that made me feel uncomfort...
