Our daughter LOVED her experience at Carver! She was in the literary program and wrote/edited/published a book her senior year! The school spirit is tangible, and the students support each other. GREAT teachers and motivating environment!

I was at Carver and I am not impressed either by the staff or the academics. It tries to be very exclusive; however, not very special. Mostly students are comprised of teachers own children; so, they tend to exclude all other county students. Its a trade school; so, if you want your student to start...
