Summary

Blalack Middle in Carrollton, TX, serves 931 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd), a diverse community where over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Blalack is a school of striking contrasts. Its standout strength is advanced math: an incredible 92% of students passed Algebra I in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 46% and rivaling top performers like Coppell Middle East (100%) and Killian Middle (96%). The school also excels with special education students, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide. However, these bright spots coexist with significant challenges. Only 9% of 7th graders were proficient in math, well below the state average of 29%, and overall state ranking has dropped from the 77th percentile in 2023 to the 57th percentile in 2026. This decline is broad-based, affecting nearly all student groups, and contrasts with nearby Arbor Creek Middle and Killian Middle in Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), which have maintained higher rankings.

Despite recent academic dips, Blalack keeps students engaged with a very low dropout rate of 0.3%. The school’s performance suggests a strong focus on targeted programs—like accelerated math and special education support—but a need to improve core instruction for all students, especially in 7th-grade math and for gifted learners. For parents, Blalack offers exceptional opportunities in advanced math and special education, but the recent widespread decline signals a need for careful monitoring and support across the board.
