Summary

Carver Senior High School is a large public high school in Montgomery, AL, serving 1,553 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Montgomery County school district. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 82.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most pressing concern at Carver is its extreme chronic absenteeism rate of 49.2%—meaning nearly half of all students are missing significant instructional time. This rate is nearly double the district average (25.2%) and over four times the state average (12.0%), and it has climbed steadily from 31.1% in 2022-2023. This attendance crisis appears to be driving severe academic declines. In the most recent testing, only 4.74% of 11th graders were proficient in English, compared to 24.93% district-wide and 33.73% statewide—a dramatic drop from 18.39% just two years earlier. Math proficiency sits at 7.43%, and science at 11.15%. While the school's graduation rate of 82.7% is above the district average, the low proficiency rates suggest many graduates may not be prepared for college or career.

Carver's challenges stand in stark contrast to the magnet schools in the same district. Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School, located just 4.69 miles away, is ranked #1 in the state with 94.95% math proficiency—an 87.5 percentage point gap. Even among non-magnet schools with similar demographics, Carver's attendance problem is notably worse than Park Crossing High School's 11.5% chronic absenteeism rate. Carver spends $11,100 per student—higher than most comparable schools—yet produces some of the lowest outcomes in the state, ranking in the bottom 10% of Alabama high schools. Addressing the attendance crisis appears to be the single most important intervention needed to help Carver students succeed.
