Summary:
The Carroll Independent School District (Isd) in Southlake, Texas, is an elite, high-performing district serving 11 schools, including five elementary schools (PK-4), two intermediate schools (grades 5-6), two middle schools (grades 7-8), one high school (grades 11-12), and one alternative high school (grades 9-10), and is ranked 2nd out of 951 districts in the state.
Standout schools in the district include Robert H Rockenbaugh Elementary, which ranks 9th in the state and boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.1:1) and highest spending per student ($11,813), with 3rd-grade reading and math proficiency exceeding 95%. In contrast, Don T Durham Intermediate achieves exceptional results with lower spending ($9,012 per student), including 100% proficiency on the 8th-grade math STAAR and 99.13% on the 7th-grade math STAAR. Carroll Middle is a math powerhouse, with 100% of its 8th graders proficient in math and a perfect 100% proficiency on the Algebra I EOC exam. Carroll Senior High School posts near-perfect metrics, including a 99.3% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with U.S. History EOC scores consistently above 93%.
A key finding is the "Algebra I Acceleration Effect," where middle schools like George Dawson Middle and Carroll Middle achieve near-perfect Algebra I EOC scores (97-100%), while 7th-grade math proficiency dips across the district (e.g., 58.74% at Carroll Middle), suggesting a need for targeted intervention. Performance variability exists between schools, such as in 5th-grade reading where Don T Durham Intermediate scored 89.06% proficient versus 82.19% at Eubanks Intermediate. The absence of free/reduced lunch data indicates a highly affluent student population, removing a common variable linked to lower test scores in other districts.
