Summary:
Benbrook, Texas, is home to one school, Basis Benbrook, a high-performing charter elementary school serving grades Kindergarten through 7th grade with 534 students.
Basis Benbrook is part of the Basis Texas district, which is ranked 21st out of 951 districts in the state (98th percentile, 5-star rating). The school itself has consistently earned a 4-star state ranking over the past three years, placing it in the top 20% of all Texas elementary schools. Its student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is favorable, suggesting smaller class sizes. Academically, the school dramatically outperforms the state average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, in 2025-2026, the school's average reading proficiency was 80.17% compared to the state average of 54.81%, and its math proficiency was 60.29% versus the state's 42.70%. However, a consistent gap exists between the school's scores and the higher district averages, indicating that while Basis Benbrook is excellent, other schools in the network may have even stronger performance.
Key takeaways for parents include that mathematics is a relative weakness compared to reading, especially in lower grades, with only 46.77% of 4th graders proficient in math versus 65.57% in reading. Conversely, the school shows strong year-over-year growth in upper grades, with 7th-grade reading proficiency reaching 90.48% and 8th-grade math at 88.24%. Science performance in 5th grade was a notable outlier at 40.3% proficiency, though still above the state average. The absence of free/reduced lunch data suggests a student body that may come from a more affluent background, which is important context for understanding the high test scores. Overall, Basis Benbrook offers a rigorous academic environment with strong results, particularly in reading and for older students.
