Carver Middle School

Teachers are great. We feel our student is loved and safe at school. It’s close knit and just a good school. The school has increasingly enrolled more low-income students, hence the shift in test scores. But they’re still known as a good school in the community because they’ve maintained their reputation despite challenges.

Both of my daughters go here and we’ve had an AMAZING experience. The teachers are truly incredible. The principal is outstanding at his job. He leads the school with a wonderful energy and truly cares about the students. I’m extremely happy with our experience at Mark Twain.

My brother a mixed kid gets bullied at this school and gets segregated from his peers after he defends himself but he is always the one who gets in trouble mind you my brother has tried to tell the teacher and principal and nothing changes this school is not safe and if you are of color I highly don’t recommend you and your family with be looked at as less than and you don’t matter we have tried very hard to give chances but it’s getting to a point that my brother doesn’t even feel safe to go to school anymore he already is singled out for being biracial and then you have a school you are supposed to be looking forward to showing you racism hasn’t changed and it won’t until this school and the peers are stopped

Excellent staff and have only had positive experiences with teachers.

If you want a daycare for your child this is it. Not much academics, very little structure and low expectations. Sent my child for one year. I am a retired public teacher. Very disappointed with the behavior expectations and the small amount of "teaching" being done.

I have been connected to NCA for many years, as a volunteer, parent and staff member. I have watched the school continue to grow and improve every year. They have a great partnership with parents in their student's education. This is a school that I would highly recommend to friends and family. I encourage you to check it out.

Both of my children attended David Harrison Elementary and it gave an excellent foundation to their growth. All of the staff truly cared about them and offered so many resources to help them achieve their potential. The PTA was very active and supportive as well. We loved that this school had an English Speakers of Other Languages program, and offered a lot of diversity and embraced differences. We still have fondness for their teachers even though they are grown and college level or above now. I am so thankful we moved to Missouri and found this awesome school- it is light years above anything offered in the state that we relocated from.
