Public Grades

Summary

The school is part of the Beauregard Parish school district, which is ranked 40 out of 114 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carver Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (19.25%) and Hispanic (7.76%) students compared to the nearby schools, such as South Beauregard Elementary and East Beauregard Elementary, which have a significantly higher percentage of white students (over 90%). Academically, Carver performs better than the Beauregard Parish and Louisiana averages in Mathematics, with 76% of students proficient or better, but lags behind in English Language Arts (51% proficient or better) and Social Studies (31% proficient or better). The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.98%) may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower performance in these subject areas.

While Carver Elementary's diverse student population and strong Mathematics performance are noteworthy, the nearby schools, such as South Beauregard Elementary and East Beauregard Elementary, demonstrate higher overall academic achievement across all subject areas. This suggests that Carver Elementary could benefit from learning from the instructional practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools, while also addressing the specific needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.

Horrible school. The teachers and staff expect these kids to be little robots. These poor children come home so discouraged because nothing they do is good enough. Close Quote

My nephew attended this school last year and this year. I'm appalled with the neglect that the staff displays. Bullying is ignored, cries for help pushed to the side. Staff makes homophobic comments and participates in gender inequality. Victims are blamed when they come forward and gun threats are dismissed. When confronted, they change their story and attempt to gaslight parents and children, all to try and protect themselves. Children are blamed in order to protect the reputation of teachers and the school. This school is mentally abusive and the school board does nothing. Close Quote
