After the season, Carr declared for the 2020 NBA draft but did not sign with an agent.

Before his junior year, Carr transferred to Montverde Academy, a school in Montverde, Florida with a renowned basketball program.

His team, which was ranked among the best in the country, achieved a 26–5 record and a runners-up finish at High School Nationals. At the end of the season, he played in the BioSteel All-Canadian Game. Carr was a three-star recruit and chose to play for Pittsburgh over offers from Cincinnati, Houston and Virginia Tech, among others. He was considered a three-star recruit and was ranked the 146th best prospect in his class.
