Beyond its namesake
Southlake Carroll's Boundaries
Carroll ISD covers almost all of the city of Southlake and spills into tiny parts of Grapevine and Westlake as well. There is a small portion of Southlake, west of Davis/Randoll Mill Rd. that falls within the Keller ISD. At just 21 square miles, the CISD consists of 11 schools including 1 high school and 1 senior high. The newest school, Walnut Grove Elementary, opened in the Fall of 2011.
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 the building expanding instruction from only the first 8 grade levels to include high school. The first senior class graduated in 1965.
In the Southlake Carroll school district what is typically called a Jr. High is called High School, and it includes 9th and 10th grade. The Senior High is made up of 11th and 12th grade. Carroll Intermediate schools consist of 5th and 6th grade while Middle school is 7th and 8th.
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.
