Summary

Carol Holt Elementary is a PK-4 school in Arlington, TX, serving 391 students as part of the highly-rated Mansfield Independent School District (Isd). This school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 49th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to its highest-ever ranking at the 88th percentile in 2025-2026—a 39-percentile-point gain in just four years. This rapid improvement makes Carol Holt a standout choice for families, especially when compared to nearby schools like Glenn Harmon Elementary, which has experienced a significant decline to the 5th percentile over the same period.

What truly sets Carol Holt apart is its consistent ability to outperform district averages across all subjects and grade levels. In the most recent testing year, the school exceeded the Mansfield ISD average in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math by significant margins. For example, 4th grade reading scores reached 72.41% at Carol Holt compared to the district's 59.14%. This success extends to a diverse student body, earning a 5-star rating for its work with Hispanic, White, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, and Low Socio-Economic Status students. While nearby Nancy Neal Elementary holds a slightly higher overall percentile (95th), it serves a more affluent population, making Carol Holt's high achievement with a moderate free/reduced lunch population (51.66%) particularly impressive.

The school's performance also creates an interesting contrast with Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy, an Arlington ISD magnet school that ranks at the 89th percentile but serves a much more affluent student body. Carol Holt matches this performance level while serving a more diverse and economically challenged population, highlighting its effectiveness. One area for potential focus is the school's performance with Asian students, which ranks at the 58th percentile—a relative weakness compared to other subgroups. Overall, Carol Holt Elementary is a compelling option for families seeking a school with a proven track record of growth and equitable outcomes.
