I was victim to a terrible elementary school in the past, which is why coming to carver was literally one of my best decisions. The kids are great and so is the lunch for someone who came from a poorly funded school in the past, send your kid to carver.

I have been apart of this community since middle school, and back then it was the best time of my schooling. As of recently, there have been some major issues and changes that have made me extremely ready to leave and not have to worry about being under the administration there.

Carver HS catered to kids who are different in many ways. There are over 50 sports at my schools, not just the typical basketball, football, baseball teams. They had different clubs & extra curricular as well. The teachers were awesome. They helped & worked with you on academics or just in general.

My daughter was attacked at this school by another student. She received 14 stitches to her head and a severe concussion. The boy was not reprimanded. We need the truth of what goes behind these doors. This isn’t a good school. My daughter’s incident wasn’t reported because they don’t want to seem l...

Carver is an amazing school, particularly for students interested in science and engineering. The school is in a relatively new building (for the District) on the edge of the Temple campus. The teachers are top notch and most strive to create a caring environment for the students. I feel this school...
