My daughter thrived and has succeeded in CISD. It was academically challenging, but you are taught to work for success. Those few that complain about diversity should concentrate more on academics than what people look like.

To Future Families,I feel it's necessary to share our candid experience with Carroll Elementary School to provide a clearer picture for those considering it for their children's education. Our time at the school brought to light several aspects that potential families should be aware of.Firstly, a significant number of students participate in external tutoring, which seems to be a key factor in their success on standardized tests. This reliance on outside help might indicate areas where the school's academic program could be strengthened.Our experience also highlighted a distinct pattern where involvement in the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) seemed to be linked with greater opportunities for those children and parents. This includes participation in school events, field trips, and prominent roles in school activities like musicals. It appeared that a small, consistent group was favored for these opportunities, which could lead to a sense of exclusion for others.Furthermore, in any disputes or issues involving students, we observed a tendency for resolutions to lean away from impartiality, often to the detriment of children whose parents were less involved in the PTO or school volunteer activities.The underlying message seemed to be that active participation in the PTO or volunteer programs was essential for a child to fully benefit from what the school has to offer. More concerning was the impression that voicing any concerns or complaints might lead to subtle forms of retaliation or exclusion.Having been part of this community for several years, we are now relieved to have moved on and would urge potential families to consider these points carefully. The school environment plays a crucial role in a child's development, and it's vital to choose a setting that aligns with your values and expectations for inclusivity and fairness.

We love Durham. The new Principal and the fantastic teachers making learning fun while maintaining high standards. There is a very involved PTO and everyone is welcome to support the school. Durham has a small town feel with great opportunities.

As a substitute, subbing here was amazing! The students were very polite and they are ready to learn! I was impressed with how they behaved. The faculty/staffs were very welcoming! One of the teachers asked me to join their table during lunch time so I don't feel alone! Wow! I would definitely come back and sub there again!

Great School. We have 4 children in the CISD school system and one attending Carroll High School. We thought about moving back to Arizona next year for work. After looking at the schools I was reminded how lucky we are with the schools and teaching staff here in Southlake. We decided we couldn’t move back until after our youngest finishes school. I remember when we gustar moved here what a difference the school were from where we moved. I guess you forget over time so it was a good reminder when we sat down to compare Carroll to other options if we moved.
