Summary:
The four middle-level schools in zip code 76092 (Southlake, TX) are all part of the top-ranked Carroll Independent School District (Isd), serving grades 5 through 8 across two intermediate schools (grades 5-6) and two middle schools (grades 7-8), with a total enrollment of 2,560 students and exceptionally low student-teacher ratios between 15.5:1 and 17:1.
Carroll Middle stands out as the highest-ranked school in the zip code at #30 in Texas, consistently posting the best 8th-grade Reading (89.6%) and Social Studies (79.17%) scores, while George Dawson Middle is a remarkably stable performer ranked #35, with both middle schools achieving a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and 100% proficiency in Algebra I. The intermediate schools serve as the engine for math acceleration: Don T Durham Intermediate has a historic #2 state ranking and sees 96.73% of its 7th graders and 99.08% of its 8th graders proficient in advanced math, while Eubanks Intermediate shows the same pattern with 96.18% and 100% proficiency in those advanced math tests, despite having slightly lower standard grade-level scores.
A key district-wide finding is the "7th-grade math dip," where both middle schools see significantly lower 7th-grade math proficiency (Carroll at 64.71%, George Dawson at 56.2%) compared to 8th-grade math (82.69% and 90.07% respectively), likely because lower-performing students are accelerated into Algebra I where proficiency rates are near 100%. Social Studies is a relative weakness, with George Dawson dropping to 64.81% proficiency in 2024-2025, while overall test scores far exceed state averages—88.2% in Reading versus the state's 56%, and an astonishing 98.4% average in advanced math versus the state's 54%. Spending per student ranges from $9,012 to $9,960, well above the Texas average, reflecting the district's strong financial resources.
