Summary:
The Trinity Basin Preparatory network operates seven elementary schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, serving grades Pre-K through 8th, and faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, though standout campuses like Trinity Basin Preparatory - West in Fort Worth offer a clear bright spot.
Trinity Basin Preparatory - West is the network's top performer, consistently earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 44th percentile statewide—far above the district's 30th percentile average. It boasts the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (13.6:1) and the lowest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (45.58%), and it is the only school where 3rd-grade math proficiency exceeds the state average. In contrast, Trinity Basin Preparatory - Fort Worth, the largest campus with 2,020 students, shows a unique strength in 8th-grade reading and Algebra I, with 66.36% and 70% proficiency respectively, both above state averages. Trinity Basin Preparatory - Dallas stands out for an extraordinary 95.45% Algebra I proficiency rate in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state's 47.01%.
Across the network, reading performance generally hovers near state averages, but mathematics is a systemic weakness—Trinity Basin Preparatory - Mesquite reported 0% proficiency in 7th-grade math, and Trinity Basin Preparatory - Fort Worth had only 3.57%. Spending does not predict success; Mesquite spends the most per student ($14,465) but ranks in the 12th percentile, while West has no spending data yet outperforms all. Performance also varies wildly by grade within the same school, as seen at Trinity Basin Preparatory - Grand Prairie, where 7th-grade reading exceeds the state average but 8th-grade social studies lags far behind at just 9.68% proficiency.
