Carrollton, TX School Ratings and Districts

By Mariela Lovo Ol, REALTOR® · Updated

Carrollton, TX school ratings start with the district, and five districts serve parts of the city. Most addresses are in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, but the north is in Lewisville ISD and small areas belong to three other districts. Here is how to sort it out.

Which school districts serve Carrollton?

Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD serves most of the city and operates Newman Smith, R.L. Turner and Creekview high schools. Lewisville ISD covers the northern sections in Denton County, including Hebron High School.

Dallas ISD serves a small area in the southeast, Coppell ISD a portion in the southwest, and Plano ISD the part of Carrollton in Collin County.

What are the TEA ratings for Carrollton's districts?

The Texas Education Agency published these 2026 A–F overall district ratings. Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD: B (81). Lewisville ISD: B (83). Dallas ISD: B (85). Coppell ISD: A (93). Plano ISD: B (85).

These are district-level results only. Campus results vary, and you can look up any school on TXschools.gov.

How does school assignment work in Carrollton?

Each district assigns students by attendance zone based on the home address. Districts also run their own programs of choice and transfer processes, each with its own application window.

Charter schools also operate in the area. They are public schools you apply to separately, and TEA posts their ratings too.

Because Carrollton crosses county lines, two homes on nearby streets can belong to different districts. Treat the district as a search filter from day one, not a detail to confirm after you fall for a house.

How do you verify the school for a Carrollton address?

Verify school assignment for any address directly with the district, using its school locator or enrollment office. Zones can change from year to year, so check again before you close.

Start with the Carrollton homes for sale page and filter by school district, then compare areas in the Carrollton relocation guide. School district also affects your tax rate, explained on the Carrollton property tax page.
