High Schools in Carver

The Carver area has one high school, Carver Middle/High School, a combined middle/high school serving grades 6–12 with 688 students. Because it is the only high school listed, comparisons are school vs. district vs. state. It is rated 2 stars, with a district rank of 237 of 351 (32nd percentile) and a school rank of 212 of 353 (40th percentile) in 2025–26. Its rank improved from 230 of 348 (34th percentile) in 2023–24 to 209 of 349 (40th percentile) in 2024–25, then stayed near that level. Strengths include a 97.8% graduation rate (district 95.8%), a 1.1% dropout rate (district 1.1%), a student-teacher ratio of 9.6, and per-student spending of $18,120 in 2020–21. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank/unknown, so it should not be read as zero.

Academically, the school is mixed. It is above the state in 7th-grade ELA (41.9% vs. 39.91%), 7th-grade Math (39.81% vs. 37.48%), 8th-grade Science (44.05% vs. 38.93%), and all-grades Science in 2025–26 (44.05% vs. 40.98%). It is below the state in all-grades ELA (32.57% vs. 40.03%) and all-grades Math (31.89% vs. 41.11%). Largest gaps include 10th-grade Science (21.62% vs. 40.5%), 8th-grade Civics (20.48% vs. 39.77%), 8th-grade ELA (25.88% vs. 41.7%), and 6th-grade Math (25.66% vs. 42.59%). Math is below the state at every tested grade except 7th grade. The 2025–26 all-grades Science figure equals 8th-grade Science (44.05%) although 10th-grade Science is lower (21.62%), so it is not a simple average. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grades ELA was nearly flat (32.69% to 32.57%), Math declined (33.87% to 31.89%), Science rose (35.19% to 44.05%), and 8th-grade Civics declined (26.47% to 20.48%).

For parents, positives include strong graduation and dropout outcomes, a low student-teacher ratio, and pockets of solid performance in 7th grade and 8th-grade Science; concerns include the 2-star rating, a rank below the state median at the 40th percentile, and gaps versus the state in Math, 8th-grade ELA/Civics, and 10th-grade Science. Because this is a single-school record, district values often mirror school values or differ only slightly. The spending figure is from 2020–21, so it is historical, and the free/reduced-lunch field is unknown, not zero.
