Carroll ISD considers ranking only top 10 percent of high-schoolers News for Dallas, Texas Dallas Morning News Latest News:
"Carroll ISD could soon become the latest exemplary district in the area to stop ranking all but the top 10 percent of high school students.
District officials in the northeast Tarrant County district started looking at abolishing rankings after Highland Park ISD chose to do so over the summer because of concerns that high grades in the academically competitive district don't guarantee top rankings. As a result, strong students with a low rank are at a disadvantage when applying to college.
Many students rank lower in their graduating class than administrators believe they would at a less-rigorous school."
