Summary

Carver Middle/High School in Carver, MA is a single-building school on South Meadow Road that serves grades 6–12 and enrolls 688 students, making it the only secondary school in the Carver district. It currently holds a 2-star rating, ranked 212th of 353 Massachusetts schools (40th percentile) for 2025–26 — slightly better than the district's own position (237th of 351, 32nd percentile).

The most important thing to understand is that students finish at near-elite rates even though test proficiency sits near the bottom of the local group. Carver's 97.8% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate are statistically indistinguishable from Silver Lake Regional High (98.0%/0.4%) and Pembroke High (96.5%/1.2%), both of which rank more than 100 places higher on state assessments. Grade-10 MCAS is the only apples-to-apples comparison with nearby high schools, since eight of the nine comparison schools serve grades 9–12 only, and there Carver is below the state in ELA (40.00 vs. 45.48), math (30.77 vs. 43.73), and science (21.62 vs. 40.50). That 10th-grade science gap of nearly 19 points is the largest single shortfall in the dataset.

Results also swing widely by grade. Seventh grade exceeded the state in ELA (41.90 vs. 39.91) and math (39.81 vs. 37.48), while grades 6 and 8 fell 11–17 points below state in both subjects, and 8th-grade civics came in at 20.48 against a 39.77 state rate — even as the same grade's science score (44.05) beat the state's 38.93. The school's long slide from 3 stars in the mid-2010s has flattened: the last four years sit at the 33rd–40th percentile, the last two identical at 40, but with no rebound yet. Extra resources don't explain the pattern — Carver's 9.6:1 student-teacher ratio is the second-lowest locally and its $18,120 per-pupil spending is mid-pack. Notably, low-income students rank at the 42nd percentile, slightly above the school's overall standing. The state did not publish free/reduced-lunch enrollment percentages, so the school's economic composition cannot be measured from this data.
