the renaming of the arts and technology high school with the full name of the famous afro-american scientist, inventor and educator george washington carver, (1864-1943), was made an exception to naming policy by the county's board of education was to remember the first established public high school in the county, when previously its black students had to end their education at around the sixth or eighth grades or travel into the city to attend first either the "colored high and training school", the first african-american secondary school established in the state in 1883 (with historical antecedents going back to 1865), later renamed after 1925 as frederick douglass high school (#454) in west baltimore or to go to paul laurence dunbar community high school established first in 1918 as an elementary/grammar school, later elevated 1925 to a junior high school and finally a full-fledged high school by 1937, in east baltimore at 1400 orleans street, by north central avenue and west of the johns hopkins hospital campus. but by 1952, racial segregation barriers in baltimore city's public schools had fallen first at the city's best and elite college prep schools, baltimore polytechnic institute in 1952, in a famous local court case and hearing, followed the next year at academic and athletic rival the baltimore city college. beginning in the fall of 1954, following that may's supreme court decision of "brown vs. board of education of topeka, kansas", baltimore's "colored schools" system was dismantled gradually but increasingly year by year during the rest of the decade of the 1950s with small numbers of black students entering all the city's neighborhood/regional public high schools, with only demonstrations and some scuffles among angry white crowds around old southern high school (now digital harbor high school) in the federal hill area of old south baltimore and the old patterson park high school in east baltimore's patterson park and the neighborhoods of hampstead hill, baltimore-highlandtown, baltimore, and canton areas, but generally went peacefully over the years, although occasional additional problems and situations cropped up in the mid-1960s and early to mid-1970s, compared to many other school systems across the nation and especially in the south of which baltimore was still a sort of part of. unfortunately, "de facto" segregation replaced the "de jure" official policies and some schools still mirrored their neighborhoods racial make-up. especially at carver and merganthaler vo-techs, where despite their advanced programs, opportunities and curriculums, carver remained almost exclusively all-black, while "mervo" gradually increased its integration all through the next few decades and remains racially split / somewhat integrated today (2013) the student body is approximately 1000 students, and the student to teacher ratio is about 14:1.
