District-Level NCES Analysis
Carroll Isd operates 11 public schools serving 8,471 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 3 combined, 2 high, 2 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Tarrant County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,593 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 86.3% local, 9.1% state, and 4.5% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 13/100, ranked #1016 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (44 AP courses district-wide), a 431.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.9% White, 24.1% Asian, 11.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Don T Durham Int, with a diversity index of 64.3/100.
Its largest campus is Carroll Senior H S, enrolling 1,422 students (18% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Old Union El, at 458 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Carroll Senior H S accounts for 16.8% of all Carroll Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Carroll Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Carroll Isd school enrollment varies 3.1× across entities
Carroll Isd school enrollment ranges from 458 students (lowest) to 1,422 students (highest), a spread of 964 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Carroll Isd student-counselor ratio is 432:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Carroll Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 8.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
