History
In the early 1919 the Carroll Common School District was formed from independent schools near Lonesome Dove and White's Church as well as Sams School. The district was named after B.E. Carroll who was the Tarrant County Superintendent of Public Instruction. The first Carroll School was completd in 1919 and served as the district's lone school until the opening of the new Carroll Middle/High School in the 1970-1971 school year. In 1957, Carroll CSD became an independent school district. Carroll ISD only offered 1-8 grade, until the district added 9th grade in the 1961-1962 school year. Carroll ISD graduated its first senior class in 1965 making Carroll ISD a 1-12 grade school district.
Overview
Carroll ISD is consistently ranked among the top-rated school districts in Texas, due in no small part to the upper-income area it serves. The district and all of its schools are often all rated "Exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency, the highest ranking possible. In 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 school years, the district was dropped to the "Recognized" ranking. In the 2006-2007 school year, the district not only regained the "Exemplary" ranking, but also became the largest all Exemplary school district in Texas. Carroll ISD still holds this title today.[1]
School spirit is exceptionally strong in the district: all of its schools share the same colors (green, white, and black) and the same mascot (the Dragon). The Carroll Dragon logo (a dragon, in the school colors, emitting lightning from its mouth, superimposed over an outline of the State of Texas) is among the most recognized logos in the area.
