School Data

    Discover this school

    Dr. George Washington Carver Academic Elementary School, a hidden treasure in Bayview-Hunter's Point, holds high expectations for a culturally diverse student population in a structured environment. We stress academic excellence for all students. Students become self-motivated, intrinsic learners by learning respect for themselves, others, and their surroundings. We guide them to perform to their best ability and to be socially prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century. Students will leave us with a strong foundation in literacy, mathematics, and technology.

    Our school offers students a variety of enrichment opportunities, including an After School Program. Teachers working in the afterschool program provide tutoring and cooperative lessons, as well as implement programs such as Tree Frog (a science and nature program) and Imagine Bus (an arts and crafts program). Our staff come to school every day with an attitude of compassion and dedication to students' academic and personal success. Other programs for parents include parent leadership classes, Family Math Day, Family Literacy Days and Fatherhood Day. Historically, Carver has been an award-winning school and we are striving to maintain the excellence of ourselves and our achievers

    Opportunities for Parental Involvement

    Carver has many organized activities for parents. Throughout the year, the principal and staff present educational workshops such as Family Math, Family Reading and Family Science to enhance our parents' support of student progress. Our Parent Resource Center has materials and consultation for families to educate their children at home. Through phone calls, home visits, newsletters, Student Success Team, and consultations, families are guided in ways to help their children advance academically. Active school committees (SSC, SAC, ELAC) involve parents in school governance. The Parent Advisory Group (PAG) supports school activities and concerns by raising funds and advocating for change. Families and Room Parents are encouraged to volunteer and are recognized in May as Carver VIPS!
