Carver Elementary School is an amazing school. The faculty is professional, hard working and completely dedicated. The kindergarten team is amazing, Mrs. Davis is a powerhouse and we saw great growth in our son. The first grade for my son with Mrs. Lenahan was full of laughter and she is excellent. Mrs. Hoyt in 2nd grade has been a terrific teacher who is really in tune with the kids and their academics. The admin has always been approachable, enthusiastic and professional. The school nurse is tops. The RSP Ms. Littlefield has been attentive and professional. The PTA is run by a wonderful group of parents that really care and put forth a great effort.
