GreatSchools Rating
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.

Few very nice teachers and others who were a little uptight, but Ms. Poladi the history teacher and Mr. Drawdy the math teacher are probably the best & care for students the most. The no phone rule is a little stupid but other than that the atmosphere is nice.

The school really has little to no safety issues. There is the rare fight that happens once every 2 years but they are generally very isolated events. The school has a very strong sense of community and bullying is not tolerated by the students. Students feel a sense of pride in the safety of the school and can be heard sharing their opinions in the topic of bullying.

Teachers are great. All oriented to the whole person as this is a waldorf methods school. The arts are included in teaching traditional academic subjects so the student integrates the material in a more wholistic way, mot just memorizing data and using only the left side of the brain.

My child is a sophomore at Carver. This school has gone down hill with the arrival of the new principal last year. Multiple teachers have quit. I compare it to like rats fleeing a sinking ship. There is no math or physics teacher for the 10th graders. The english teacher is leaving next week. She ha...

In the past this school was probably way better than it is now. We chose this school for our daughter who has learning differences because of the small environment and Waldorf methodology of teaching for her 9th-grade year. Coming from a smaller Montessori school we thought this school would be simi...

This is such an amazing school with incredible teachers! My son is engaged in his learning, enjoys his classmates and loves the extra curricular activities. They have robotics, MESA, theatre and even videography. It is a safe, warm environment that encourages deeper, creative thinking. So happy we c...
