Carver Middle School, Monroe GA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Carver Middle School

Carver Middle School in Monroe serves the three middle grades across a student body that is roughly split between white students and Black students, with a smaller share of Hispanic students. The enrollment is typical for a middle school of its grade band, with roughly equal numbers in each of grades six through eight.

Seven in ten students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a student population with limited household resources. The school's test results show proficiency rates in the lower tier. In English language arts across all three grades, proficiency ranges from roughly a third of students in grade eight to just under a third in grades six and seven. Math performance is slightly higher, with proficiency ranging from roughly a third of sixth graders to just under two-fifths of seventh and eighth graders. Eighth grade results on science are just above a third, and social studies proficiency is similarly positioned. Relative to the other districts in Walton County, Carver's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile. A parent may want to look into the school's specific academic supports and instructional strategies directly with the school.

Monroe itself is a county seat and exurban Atlanta community with a historic downtown that includes restored mills, antique markets, and civic anchors like the courthouse and Childers Park. The city is experiencing active growth, with new residential subdivisions and downtown investment, though like much of the area outside the downtown core, daily life is car-dependent. The broader Walton County School District recently rolled back school property tax rates for the coming fiscal year and relies on a voter-approved one-penny education sales tax, renewed in 2025, to fund school construction and facility improvements rather than property-tax bonds.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
