Carrollton High School has struggled academically, with only 20.8% of 11th graders proficient or better in M-STEP Science in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 34.9% and the Carrollton Public Schools district average of 19%. The school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate around 80% and a higher dropout rate around 8% in recent years.
