Carver Middle School has consistently performed better than the Lake District and Florida state averages in several key test areas, including Algebra 1 and Geometry. However, the school's proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math have been lower than the district and state. Additionally, Carver Middle School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 51.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.35% to 64.87% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Lake District, Carver Middle School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms the district and state averages in some areas, such as Algebra 1 and Geometry, it lags behind in others, like 8th grade Science and Math. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, dropping from 630 out of 1,031 Florida middle schools in 2016-2017 to 938 out of 1,205 in 2024-2025. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and ranking within the state.
