About Carver Elementary School

Carver Elementary School in Florence, South Carolina, is a public school for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade. There are almost six hundred students at the school, and the student–teacher ratio is about fourteen to one. This means that most classes are small enough for each student to get the attention they need. Carver really believes in learning by doing, especially in math, science, technology, and engineering. Students often do hands-on projects and lessons that help them be creative and work together. The school is known for having a diverse student body; just over half of its students come from minority backgrounds. Recent reports say that about half of the students meet or exceed state standards in math and reading. This is similar to what many South Carolina schools have found. Carver Elementary is in a neighborhood in Florence that is good for families, where home values are average and people are very involved in the community. Families say the school is friendly, focused on helping students grow, and open to new ideas for making learning better.
