Carroll ISD is a K-12 public school system located in the heart of the DFW Metroplex. The 21-square-mile district consists of 11 schools serving more than 7,900 students and 1,000 employees. The district is rated Exemplary by the Texas Education Agency. In fact, CISD is the largest Exemplary school district in the state of Texas.

All Eleven Campuses Earn Exemplary Ratings

TEA announced in August school ratings for the 2010-2011 school year. All of the district's 11 campuses have been rated "Exemplary."
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.
