At just 21 square miles and educating around 8000 students, the Carroll School District may be small by Metroplex standards. But the district has proven year after year its large stature among schools across Texas and throughout the nation. A big part of that success is the "all for one, one for all" mentality reinforced throughout the district. The Dragon sense of legacy sets the tone for everyone who lives in the district.

The original Carroll Hill School, named after the Tarrant County Superintendent of Public Instruction, served as the district's only school until 1961 when the district added a new wing to to the building expanding instruction from only the first 8 grade levels to include high school. The first senior class graduated in 1965.

Quick Facts About The Carroll ISD
We seem to be pretty typical Southlake residents because we moved here because of the schools. When we found out we were being transferred I started researching the surrounding areas and Carroll Schools just stood out as far ahead of other districts. The agent we started with just wasn't working out and a co-worker of my husband had used Cindy when he moved, so we gave her a call. It was a great choice. We really feel like we wouldn't have done as well with anyone else.
The Carroll Dragon, mascot for all schools in the Carroll School District, was designed by a student in the 1980's. The green, white and black Dragon logo superimposed over an outline of the state of Texas varies a bit at each campus level. Elementary campuses, for example, will display a bit less meanacing design. But make no mistake, each member of the Dragon family is aware of the responsiblity and pride associated with the design.
