Carroll ISD once again received top honors from the Texas Education Agency, scoring an A rating for both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, according to accountability ratings released Aug. 15.
The TEA had delayed last year’s release due to legal proceedings, but the new data provides a two-year look back. Carroll ISD earned straight A’s across all 11 campuses, continuing a long track record of excellence. Dating back to 2021-22, the district has averaged at least a 95 out of 100 every year. Among the 12 districts in Region 11 that received an A, none scored higher overall than CISD.
By the numbers, Carroll Elementary and Rockenbaugh Elementary led the district with 97 out of 100. Every campus earned at least a 94. The district’s graduation rate held steady at 99.7% for the past two years, just shy of its perfect score in 2021-22.
CISD also outperformed state averages in key metrics. In 2024-25, 88% of students met grade level or above across all subjects, compared to 50% statewide. Sixty percent mastered grade level, nearly triple the state average of 21%.
The TEA’s A–F Accountability System, created in 2017, evaluates districts on student achievement, school progress, and closing achievement gaps.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability,” said Commissioner Mike Morath. “These ratings provide families with clear, consistent information on how their schools are performing.”
