Some of the teachers are extremely difficult to contact, and will often times refuse to discuss their grading practicies with the students and the parents which leades to poor working relationship. On the upside, the core IB teachers are excellent at working with parents, and sharing input as to ways to help their students improve. The principal is very helpful and supportive when given an opportunity to help. Overall the IB program is a great opportunity for kids to grow and be challenged
My son is in his second year in the IB program at Carver and we as a family are very pleased with the IB and the school in general. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are engaging, and our son has made some great friends there. I know families who live within the Carver boundary but chose not to enroll their kids there, but we are very happy we decided to send our son to our hometown school. The school is very much a part of the Delray Beach community, and as a parent I have become an active volunteer at the school by joining the SAC and letting the administrators and teachers know what I can do for them. Carver doesn't have an organized structure to enroll parent involvement, but the school is open to involvement by any parents who offer it.
Carver is a school lacking involvment but rapidly progressing. there are alot new teachers but are increasing in discipline and student participation.
Carver is my home school. My daughter attended 6th, 7th, and 8th grade there in the IB program (Fall 2004 - Spring 2007). The school was excellent the first year, but got a new principal in 2005 and IB suffered greatly. The new principal made changes that were not effective, and did not foster the learning environment of the IB program. At the end of the 2006-2007 school year, most of the really excellent IB teachers left for other schools. When it was time for my son to attend middle school, I sent him to Boca Middle under the NCLB/AYP program. Thank goodness that was an option, because he would have learned nothing if he had gone to Carver.
