Carroll High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 100th out of 353 Alabama high schools in 2016-2017 to 260th out of 374 in 2024-2025. Its performance on state assessments is also below the state average, with only 7.75% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, 17.83% in Science, and 18.7% in English in 2024-2025.
