Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD is one school district. Farmers Branch tried to separate. It was not successful.

Carrollton is definitely a mixed bag city with good and bad pockets. I agree with that. They do have the new light rail going through town to take you to Dallas or Denton. I think that might spur some revitalization.

It's definitely not a Plano or Coppell but it has some great walking trails, parks, nice areas and I wouldn't count it out. Overall, I've never felt unsafe out walking by myself in any part of town.

I rode through there and I liked the area closer to Addison. I liked how diverse it was

That part of Carrollton is probably a safe bet.

We live in the part near Addison and we like it, too. Diversity, good people, and it's very convenient to Dallas. From subbing at various schools in CFBISD and just from getting involved in the community in Carrollton, it seems that the northern part of Carrollton is quite different in terms of having more money, less diversity, less down-to-earth people, etc. I don't think that part of Carrollton wants to claim our part. Whatever.

We have been in the area for about 4 months and my daughter is at Hebron Valley. So far we are very content. I feel safe in the area and it is very convenient to 35 and 121 (the husband travels into Dallas for work so it is a great location.) It is super easy to get around to any part of Dallas really and it is actually pretty diverse with a mix of caucasian, Indians and Asians.
