My mental health is HORRIBLEever since I went here. There's already been a repeat of an incident of something called "the diaper incident" where someone smeared waste all over the 7th grade boys bathroom. It happened in 6th grade, and again in 7th grade. They also stuck a diaper onto the wall. The teachers (most) don't even make the lesson engaging and blame the student when they can't pay attention to a middle aged person talk for 46 minutes straight and remember everything they said. I learn hands on, which means I learn BETTER when I can interact with stuff. The teachers here just give you a packet/paper, talk for a little bit, and expect you to finish it. They're also very rude. The students aren't better and they don't even discipline them right.

Worst school ever. My daughter started school here and they refused to work with her in the areas where she struggled. Teachers would belittle her for not understanding the content and had no response when questioned and then isolate her away from everybody even when given the paperwork stating she has a very bad hyperactivity problem and expect it to get better. Bullying here is VERY BAD both from the students and TEACHERS, we have called many times and nothing was ever done. But when she sticks up for herself she gets in trouble!!! The principal is the worst of all, lie to your face and have law enforcement interrogate an under age minor WITH OUT EVEN NOTIFYING THE PARENTS. Be smart, be safe, we pulled our daughter and now do homeschooling where she is excelling. I do not recommend this school for any parent who value their children.

I have gone to school in Carver middle school for my 6th and 7th grade year, and all i can say, is my 6th grade year was rough. Not because of the teachers, or the principals, but the students. I have wrote many reports, and the staff has tried to help, but the students will not change. There hasn't been much drama in 7th grade, but there was a lot in 6th because of immature children. The teachers are nice, and so is the staff and the food is decent. I recommend for 7th and 8th

This school is seriously something else. One of the worse schools I have seen. I would not recommend carver at all. We have had nothing but trouble with this school.

I went to this school in 1999-2000. Kids and teachers were bullies then and are still bullies now. Made my life a living “h e double hockey sticks” I finished 6th grade and my parents never sent me back there. Too much bullying going on by the teachers, principle and other students. If you don’t live in a higher family class and you’re middle or lower class you’re considered unintelligent and treated as if you are.

This school allows children to be bullied and physically assulted. Teachers allow students to goofnoff play around and be loud and disruptive during class. Nothing is done to stop the bulling. When i enrolled my couple friends of our told us they had to pull their child out and put them in a different school due to carvers lack of anything. I always give negative feedback a chance to be proven otherwise but i now see that all ive heard is not wrong. My child has been bullied verbally and physically since she has started there.. would not give this school top rating what so ever.

My children go to this school and so far we have had over $500 total in personal property either damaged or stolen, the teachers are rude to the students, not just mine, have cussed on numerous occasion at the students. One of my children have gone here for the last two years and has a heart defect for which I brought a note in to the nurse, and when it was time for them to play football, the teacher told him that he did not believe that my child had a defect or a note. I have talked to the teachers, the vice principal, the principal, and the supervisor and nothing has been done except that now the teachers are taking it out on my children. The discipline is in their hands and I have caught the teachers in lies about some of the things they claimed my child did, and continued with the punishment. My child has been physically harmed by his 5th grade teacher from Jeffries and nothing was done to her even though she admitted to me and the principal there. My children are being bullied- not by the students, but by the teachers and especially the principal at this school. If you value your child's safety I would not send them to this school.

Tired of Carver's inability to understand most parents don't have the luxury of working for the school system. I don't work 7 months a year and get off work at 3pm. I actually have a job that is 9-5, that doesn't make me a bad parent because I can't get off work whenever school has a function or a sport practice ends earlier than they said. Carver Football is a joke. Coaches are rude to both parent and student. My child was actually told "I have a life too" in reference to being picked up 4 minutes late. Yet the coaches hold them 15 minutes late or let them out 15 min early on a whim and we are just supposed to be there to get them. Several teachers are bullies and allowed to yell and belittle a student and that jerk of a principle condones it. Condescending little clown. Just because I'm a parent DOESN'T mean I'm stupid. Coming from another state to this type of school suckss. My kids are miles ahead of their classmates. If I could homeschool my kids I would. They allow girl students to dress like street walkers and boys to dress like gangsters. Terrible school.
