George Washington Carver High School of Arts and Sciences is a public charter school in Rancho Cordova, California. It is one of only three public Waldorf High Schools in the United States.

History

Carver was founded in 2008. [2] It is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District. It uses the Waldorf holistic system of education, one of only three public high schools in the United States to do so. [3] Waldorf Education is a three tiered system consisting of using the head for critical thinking, the heart for creative expression, and the hands for wholesome action. [4] It replaced America's Choice High School, which was funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. [5]

In 2014 the school had a 100% graduation rate for high school, elementary and low income groups. [6]

The principal is Allegra Alessandri. [6]

In 2018 U.S. News & World Report ranked Carver 516th in California and 2,630th nationwide. The math proficiency rating was 30th percentile, reading proficiency was 68th percentile. [7]

In 2014 the Sacramento Gun Club opened a shooting range 250 feet from the school. [8]
