of 415 Indiana High Schools

Better than 93% of Indiana high schools

Summary

Carroll High School is a large public high school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 2,623 students in Northwest Allen County Schools, making it the biggest school in its nearby comparison group.

Carroll is one of Indiana's top-performing high schools, ranking 31st of 415 high schools statewide in 2025–2026 (93rd percentile, 5 stars), with 5 stars every year in its available history. Its district ranks 53rd of 374 in Indiana (86th percentile). Reading is a clear strength: 69.97% of students were proficient in SAT ERW versus 51.9% statewide, while math proficiency was 40.58% versus 25.6% statewide. Homestead High School scores higher in both subjects, and Leo Junior/Senior High School edges Carroll in reading but trails in math. Carroll's math results lag well behind its reading results — a gap of about 29 percentage points.

The school graduates 96.7% of students, above the 89.7% state rate and close to Homestead's. Chronic absenteeism is 12.8% — better than the state (16.7%) but higher than Northwest Allen County Schools' 7.8% and far above Homestead's 0.5%, and it has risen from 5.2% in 2020–2021. About 22.9% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, nearly identical to Homestead but far below the high schools in Fort Wayne Community Schools. Carroll spends $9,546 per student, the lowest among the non-virtual comparison schools, and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 18.0 — yet still posts top-decile results.

Results are broadly strong across student groups. Students learning English, Hispanic students, and male and female students all rank at or above the 91st percentile, and low-income students rank at the 86th percentile. The clearest relative gap is special education students, at the 52nd percentile (3 stars), down from the 84th percentile the year before; one smaller subgroup ranked lowest among reported groups, though its comparison pool is only 42 schools. Overall, Carroll offers strong reading, graduation, and biology outcomes with efficient spending; math proficiency, absenteeism relative to district peers, and special education support are the areas to watch.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, March 4, 2013

The academics at this school are top notch. There are plenty of challenging classes (AP, engineering, honors.. ect) , even for the smartest students. Many graduates i have talked to said that their junior and senior year at Carroll were harder than their freshman year at college. Also the GPA is done on a 12 point scale. Finals are mandatory for every student regardless of their grade in the class, and regardless of the class. ( every class has a final at the end of each semester). The other thing about Carroll is that the science and math classes are heavily weighted in the test category (70-75 percent) which makes it tough. Also Carroll has a very good fine arts department, a weightlifting class, some really interesting shop and engineering classes, and tons of other neat stuff like Culinary Arts.

The facilities here are top notch. The school is extremely clean, modern, and well planned. Compared to other schools (public and private) Carroll has one of the nicest schools in Fort Wayne besides Canterbury. The athletic facilities are spectacular (huge new locker rooms, athletic trainers office, coaches offices, and amazing new basketball arena. The only part of the athletic program that is lacking is the football stadium, but there is talk of renovation in the near future.

The administration is known for being extremely strict compared to most public schools (although i may be biased). They are especially strict when it comes to dress code. Other than that they seem to do a good job at maintaining a professional environment in the school.

The students here are just like your other high school students. Cliquey, dramatic ect..There is little diversity when it comes to race (practically 99 percent white), and there seems to be a very large number of Christians at Carroll. (just my observation. Although Carroll does have a large number of wealthy middle class students, it seems like the recent housing developments in the area have attracted a lot of lower income families with students who do drugs and cause trouble. This isn't a problem yet, but in the coming years I would bet that it would be.

Also there are tons of drugs, rampant drinking, and partying within the Carroll student body. If you know the right people.

Overall Carroll is very strong academically. Even the lower level classes are challenging. It WILL prepare you for college and set a student up for success if they push themselves. The athletic programs are pretty strong especially cross country, soccer, baseball, track and wresling. Also the football is getting better in recent years. All i would say is make sure you make friends with the right group of people because they ultimately shape the decisions you make in high school. Close Quote
