Carver

Carver has two schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Carver Elementary School (PK–5, enrollment 788) and Carver Middle/High School (grades 6–12, enrollment 688, which also covers the middle grades since the area has no separate middle school). The Carver district is ranked 237th of 351 statewide, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, and both schools also carry 2 stars.

Math results diverge sharply between the two schools. Carver Elementary is above the state in all-grade math (41.32% proficient vs 41.11% in 2025–2026), with 4th grade math at 49.66% vs 43.20% and 5th grade math at 41.67% vs 39.50%. Carver Middle/High trails the state in all-grade math (31.89% vs 41.11%), with 6th grade math about 16.9 points below the state and 10th grade math about 13 points below. ELA is a shared weakness: both schools sit near 32% all-grade proficiency against roughly 40% statewide, though 7th grade ELA is a bright spot at 41.90% vs 39.91%. At Carver Middle/High, science is uneven — 8th grade science (44.05% vs 38.93%) and all-grade science (44.05% vs 40.98%) are above the state, while 10th grade science (21.62% vs 40.50%) and 8th grade civics (20.48% vs 39.77%) are far below. Graduation outcomes are strong: 97.8% graduation and 1.1% dropout.

Resources differ notably: Carver Middle/High spends $18,120 per pupil (2020–2021) with a 9.6 student-teacher ratio, against $16,216 and 14.0 at the elementary school, yet its math proficiency is lower. Rank percentiles are stable at 42, 41, and 42 for the elementary school, while the middle/high school moved from 34 to 40 and 40. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for both schools, so economic context is unavailable, and the spending figure is several years older than the test data.
