Our School Brochure

At Carver, Academic Growth is Key

We believe that a rigorous education rooted in literacy will develop readers, leaders and 21st Century Scholars. Understanding that not all kids start at the same place academically, we measure success by measuring growth. Over the past three years, Black students at Carver have been improving in academic performance at a faster rate than SFUSD as a whole. From 2018-2020, Black students at Carver improved in literacy skills at a faster rate than average rates across the district.

We Help Our Community and Students Thrive

Carver Elementary School is dedicated to interrupting the racial and social inequities that overwhelmingly affect students and families of color. By listening to our students and families and creating an education environment that honors and celebrates them, we are creating pathways to success for students of all backgrounds. The whole Carver village also shows up to support our families and the full community.

Overview

  • About Dr. George Washington Carver Elementary School

    A hidden treasure in the Bayview-Hunter's Point community, where every day, Carver’s staff come to school with compassion and dedication to each student’s academic and personal success. We believe in providing a tailored and personalized education for all students that meets the intersection of feasibility and ambition. We believe that a rigorous education, rooted in literacy, will develop readers, leaders, and 21st Century Scholars. 

    Carver offers students a variety of enrichment opportunities, including an after-school program. Teachers working in the after-school program provide 1:1 tutoring and cooperative lessons, as well as implement programs such as “X - KIDZ” (a hands-on science program) and Street Side Stories (a creative arts program). Other programs for parents include parent leadership classes, Family Math Night, and Family Literacy Night. Historically, Carver has been an award-winning school, and we strive to maintain the excellence of ourselves and our achievers.
