Education
Iowans take pride in quality education, and Carroll is no exception. The Carroll Community School District and the Kuemper Catholic Schools offer numerous education opportunities for youth in the community. Both public and parochial schools provide excellent choices for area students. Collaboration between the two schools is enviable throughout the state. The parochial and public schools have shared academic programs: Agriculture Education with a very strong FFA component, Driver Education and several sports programs. The schools also share football, baseball, softball, and track facilities along with a shared transportation system.
