Summary:
The Trinity Basin Preparatory charter network consists of 8 schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, primarily elementary campuses (PK-5 through PK-8) plus one high school, and overall ranks in the 30th percentile in Texas, indicating performance below the state average.
Within the network, Trinity Basin Preparatory - West stands out as the top elementary performer, earning a 2-star rating and 44th percentile rank, with 3rd graders exceeding the state average in Reading (57.41% proficient). The high school, Trinity Basin Preparatory - Titan Academy, is the network's star, ranking in the 74th percentile (4-star rating) and dramatically outperforming the state on End-of-Course exams like English II (79.69% vs. 59.88% state). In contrast, Trinity Basin Preparatory - South is the lowest-performing elementary, with 5th-grade Math proficiency at just 13.85%. Trinity Basin Preparatory - Mesquite showed notable improvement, jumping to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025 with 5th graders scoring 52.24% in Reading, though it later dropped. Other campuses like Trinity Basin Preparatory - Fort Worth, Trinity Basin Preparatory - Dallas, Trinity Basin Preparatory - Grand Prairie, and Trinity Basin Preparatory - Arlington generally perform below state averages, with Math being a consistent weakness across elementary grades.
A key takeaway is the stark "two-tier" system: Titan Academy excels with a low student-teacher ratio (11.3) and low poverty rate (31.43%), while elementary schools average 74% free/reduced lunch and struggle academically. Math is a systemic issue—3rd-grade Math proficiency averages just 25.36% district-wide, and 7th-grade Math hits 0% at Mesquite. However, the network shows a bright spot in Algebra I, with 72.95% proficiency in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state average of 47.01%, suggesting effective acceleration for select students. Spending varies widely (from $8,219 per student at Fort Worth to $14,465 at Mesquite) but doesn't clearly correlate with performance, indicating that campus leadership and local resources drive outcomes more than overall budget.
