Testing & Accountability

Carroll ISD is a K-12 public school system located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The 21-square-mile district consists of 11 schools serving more than 7,900 students and 1,000 employees. The district is the largest in the state of Texas to earn the top rating of "Exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency. In addition, the district and all campuses met the federal guidelines for the No Child Left Behind Act.

The state of Texas does not rank public schools, but they do rate them based on performance on standardized tests, attendance, and drop out rates. CISD has a zero percent drop out rate, a 97 percent attendance rate and consistently scores above the state and national averages on assessments. The state holds districts to a high standard of 90 percent passing to obtain the Exemplary rating. In addition, each subgroup must receive a 90 percent for a district or campus to earn the top rating.

Five of CISD's schools have been named National Blue Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education. The Blue Ribbon Schools include Rockenbaugh Elementary, Johnson Elementary, Carroll Elementary, Carroll Middle School and Carroll Senior High School. This fall, Durham Elementary School will receive a site visit as a nominee for the National Blue Ribbon Schools award.

Eight of 11 campuses were named to the Texas Business Education Coalition's 2008 Honor Roll. These include Dawson Middle School, Eubanks Intermediate School, Durham Intermediate School, Durham Elementary School, Old Union Elementary School, Carroll Elementary School, Johnson Elementary School, and Rockenbaugh Elementary School.

Approximately 98 percent of Carroll's seniors go on to attend a college or university after graduation. The Class of 2008 earned more than $14 million in scholarships to colleges and universities across the nation, and the class of 2009 was awarded an incredible total of $18 million in scholarships. More than 90 percent of Carroll students take a college entrance exam, with composite scores on the SAT and ACT that exceed state and national averages.
