Carroll Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Carroll Isd

Carroll ISD is a large public district in north-central Tarrant County serving pre-K through grade twelve across a high-income, majority-white suburban area that includes Southlake, Grapevine, Keller, and Roanoke. The district enrollment is substantial and spans the full pre-K-12 range, with larger cohorts in the middle and high school grades.

Academic performance in reading and math across elementary and middle grades is consistently strong. In English Language Arts, proficiency at the "meets" level or above runs between mid-eighties and mid-nineties across tested grades, with third and fifth graders showing particularly high proficiency. Mathematics results are comparable, with most grades in the mid-eighties to low nineties at the meets threshold. Eighth-grade math stands out as especially high. Science and social studies show slightly lower proficiency, with fifth-grade science and eighth-grade social studies in the low-to-mid seventies at the meets level. Across all subjects, a substantial proportion of students test at the "approaches" standard or above, and roughly three-fifths to nearly two-thirds demonstrate mastery-level performance. Carroll is positioned in the top quartile among Tarrant County districts on overall proficiency and ranks well on chronic absenteeism, which is notably low.

The district's per-pupil current spending sits in the middle range, lower half, compared to neighboring districts in the county. Housing in the district's service area is expensive; the median single-family home is in the high six figures. The district has undertaken sustained property tax rate reductions over several years, and in November 2025 voters approved an additional permanent tax rate increase to maintain and expand staff pay and programs. The bulk of a residential property owner's tax bill goes to the district.

Student composition is predominantly white and Asian, with smaller proportions of Hispanic, Black, and multiracial students. Free-and-reduced-price lunch eligibility data was not available; the economic context provided suggests most families in the district's geographic footprint have above-average household income.

The district has experienced enrollment decline over recent years. In response, the board voted to close Durham Intermediate School effective the 2027-28 school year, consolidating its three intermediate and middle campuses down to two. This is a structural change that will affect where elementary and middle-grade students are assigned.

A parent should be aware of the district's recent history around diversity and equity initiatives. In December 2021, the board rejected a proposed Cultural Competence Action Plan as part of a lawsuit settlement and disbanded its diversity council. The Office for Civil Rights conducted investigations into the district during that period regarding allegations of racial and gender discrimination. The district's stance on curriculum related to diversity, equity, and bullying programs differs from some neighboring districts. This context is part of the district's public record and relevant to families considering enrollment.

State testing data for high school grades and graduation rates were not provided, so a full picture of secondary outcomes is incomplete from the data on hand. Career and pathway offerings, specific course breadth, and school-by-school program detail were also not included, so a prospective family may want to research those directly with the district or individual schools.
