Are you thinking about moving your family to the Southlake area? If so, finding the perfect school district is probably at the top of your list. When working with families relocating from out of state, I hear the same question all the time. Everyone wants to know what makes Carroll ISD so special.
Carroll ISD is famous for its amazing grades and top sports programs. But how do the students actually achieve such great things? The secret is the way the district builds a path for success from kindergarten all the way to graduation.
Here is a look at what makes Carroll ISD stand out at every grade level.
Elementary School: Building Early Problem Solvers Carroll ISD focuses on critical thinking right from the start. They offer a special Gifted and Talented program called Quest. It begins in kindergarten. Students step out of their normal classes every week to do fun, hands on projects. By third and fourth grade, they are designing animal habitats and learning to code. They learn how to solve real problems long before they become teenagers.
Middle School: Moving on the Fast Track Middle school is where Carroll students really pull ahead of the pack. The district offers a special math fast track. In fifth and sixth grade, students can squeeze four years of math into just two years. This allows them to take high school math classes like Algebra and Geometry while they are still in seventh and eighth grade.
Core classes are also split into different levels. This ensures every student is challenged. Best of all, any student can sign up for advanced classes if they want to work hard.
High School: Getting Ready for College Because students finish so many basic classes in middle school, their high school schedules are wide open. This gives them plenty of time to take Advanced Placement (AP) classes. Taking AP classes helps them earn real college credit before they even graduate high school.
For students who want to be doctors, there is the Carroll Medical Academy. This is a very special program that pushes students through the hardest math and science classes available. It takes a lot of hard work, but it prepares them perfectly for top colleges.
Ready to Make the Move? Carroll ISD offers a unique path that you will not find in most other districts. It is a big reason why families love calling Southlake home.
