Summary

Carver Middle School in Monroe, GA, serves 914 students in grades 6-8 as part of the well-regarded Walton County district, and it has made remarkable progress over the past five years, climbing from a 1-star to a 3-star state ranking.

Carver has shown steady, meaningful improvement since the pandemic. In 2020-2021, the school ranked in the 27th percentile of Georgia middle schools; by 2025-2026, it had jumped to the 62nd percentile. Math scores have risen across all grade levels—for example, 7th grade proficiency went from 26.3% to 39.7% in three years. Science is a standout: 8th graders hit 39.2% proficiency, well above the state average of 29.7%. Social studies also saw a dramatic turnaround, jumping from 23.1% to 42.8% proficiency. Perhaps most notably, Hispanic students at Carver rank in the 80th percentile statewide—the school's strongest subgroup performance—suggesting effective, targeted programming that could be replicated for other groups.

Despite these gains, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism sits at 28.3%, far above the district (17.8%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved from 38.4% in 2021-2022. Carver also trails its district peers: Loganville Middle School (77th percentile) and Youth Middle School (82nd percentile) outperform Carver in most subjects. Nearby Oconee County schools like Dove Creek Middle School post 8th grade math proficiency of 89.7% versus Carver's 42.8%, though those schools serve far fewer students in poverty. Carver invests heavily in its students—spending $12,941 per pupil with a favorable 15.4:1 student-teacher ratio—and its upward trajectory suggests those resources are making a difference.

Carver gets a bad rap. This is an awesome school. Both of my kids went through and the low student/teacher ratio. The Connections (elective) teachers are the best and I never had a second thought about safety. Close Quote
